Rag Quilted Bible Covers Spring 2013

 

 

A few years ago I wrote instructions on how to make a Rag Quilted Bible/Book Cover. Since then I have been making some and offering them for sale.

 

 

This orange one was a custom order.

 

 

Earlier this year I tried making one in a patchwork style and it turned out super cute. I made 2 of these and they sold already.

 



 

Here are some pictures of ones before sewing:



 

I had cut out 36 Bible covers to make....

 

LOVE my homespuns!!

 

I always cut off more than I can chew......but I stuck with it!

 

And ones completed:

 

 

The inside with a Bible in it.

I have a few more to finish and will post pics of those when I am finished. In the meantime if you are eager to try out my copyrighted pattern you can find it on my epatternshoppe site. You can download the .pdf right from the site!

You will also find most of these Bible covers on Etsy or eBay if they have not sold yet.

The Twin Christmas Rag Quilts are done!

The Twin Christmas Rag Quilts are done! 

This weekend was absolutely lovely! Sunny and 70 degrees both days and I was able to finish some of the yard work before old man winter shows up. After the sun went down last night I sat down at the sewing machine again and stitched until my eyes started going cross-eyed. LOL. Back up this morning to finish this lovely set and spent the day washing/drying them. 

This is the first one.

This is the second one folded on the chair.

I really love the way they turned out!

Custom orders can be placed at my Etsy shop. Christmas is right around the corner!

November Project #1

Project # 1 is for 2 Twin size Rag Quilts and 2 matching pillow shams in Red and Green Christmas fabrics. It has taken me a couple of weeks to gather the fabrics, pre-fringe the squares and sew the sandwiches.  

 Last night I sewed the 2 pillow shams up. I will put the backing on them after I get the 2 quilts done.

 Here is the layout for the first quilt.

 So far what I have finished today. I like hanging the strips on my clothesline in the basement.

Stay tuned for more on this project!

September Projects

This little Alligator quilt was made for a co-worker who had a baby boy recently. My husband drew the alligator and I did the rest!

This was a King size Rag Quilt in my favorite fabrics- homespun. This beauty went to a customer in Tennessee.

Burp Cloths

Well here are those burp cloths I finished a while ago. lol

These are all for sale on Etsy. 

Rag Quilted Burp Cloths

Currently I am sewing up a stack of Rag Quilted Burp Cloths. This flannel fabric was from a part of my stash needing purged, so over the last few months I have been matching coordinating fabrics for this project. There are 18 in the stack!
