Rag quilts...


Since the birth of my granddaughter I have enjoyed making her several quilts. Most of all I have loved designing them with both my daughter and granddaughter's input. In the photo is a single bed quilt I made where each applique has special meaning for my granddaughter. She loves it soooo much she brings it with her when she sleeps over! What nobody knows is that I didn't have enough fabric for the backing so I had to either get creative or spend more money!

The throw below was made from the scraps of fabric that I had left over. I seem to be acquiring an ever increasing stash of left over pieces of fabric! My granddaughter uses this almost every day. She makes beds in the lounge for her toys, wraps her dolls in it, uses it for picnic play.... It certainly helps her mum, as the larger bed quilt now stays on her bed all day, not to mention being much easier to wash and dry.

The more sewing I do the more enjoyment I get. I love designing new projects, choosing fabrics and seeing the design take shape. With all this I am learning so many new skills and alternative ways of doing quilting. As I learn new tips I add them to my site or post them on my blog for you to enjoy.

Creating quilts has become my passion!
