Wheelchair Rag Quilt

This rag quilt is a gift for Tanya's mom.  Yes it looks like a baby size  quilt.

 We made it out of fabric she likes.  It small so it is useful as a quilt when she is in her wheelchair.  It is one of two quilts  being made for Christmas.

We will be posting several Christmas gifts, but only the ones of people that don't have internet or follow our blog.  The rest will be posted after Christmas.  

Pink Elephant Rag Quilt

This is the girl version of  the same rag quilt we did in blue.  This has pink and gray elephant and chevron print.  The back is a bright pink back.

Blue Elephant Rag Quilt

We have been quilting, just haven't took the time to take pictures or make posts.  

This cute rag quilt has chevron print and blue and gray elephant print.

 We have a girl version coming soon as well.

Last week we sold our first quilt in the United Kingdom.  We have previously only sold in US and Canada. We were pretty close on shipping cost there, however we also sold a table runner and lost money big time on shipping. 

Flag Rag Quilt

Richard has a cousin with a kid about Jared's age ie 10 that wanted to make a quilt .  

 He had the idea of recycling old flag

We decided on a blue flannel for the back.

We added some off white to round out the quilt.

The squares were 5 inch instead of our normal 6. 

He helped to sew x's while Richard sewed them together to form the rows.

We got it done all in one Saturday.  We washed it, although we sent it home wet.  We know what to expect with  a rag quilt and didn't want to clog his families washing machine.  We went back to the traditional non high-efficiency washing machine about a month ago. Too many problems, with all our rag quilts and kids not checking pockets. 

Owl & Dot Rag Quilt

While going through different boxes of fabric for rag quilts, I found the last little bit of owl fabric.  It seems to be one of our most popular ones on Etsy. I didn't have enough for just pink and the owl fabric, so I added some fun polka dots.

This rag quilt has three layers of flannel, so the edges are extra fluffy.

Orange, Gray, Yellow and Blue Glimma Rag quilt

Another fun rag quilt.  I think this one turned out fantastic. And of course it has my favorite orange in it.

My favorite picture is this last one.

Turtle Rag Quilt

Today I would like to share a new cute rag quilt from Tanya.  This adorable quilt in green (I think of it as Jared's color).  The thing I like most about rag quilts is how simple and adorable they are.  Out of all of the quilts we make to give away or sell the bulk of them seem to always be rag quilts.  We sell our Rag Quilt Pattern on Craftsy.  If you would like a free copy of it hop on over to Craftsy and comment on the pattern there or like it, or follow me on Craftsy.  Make sure to comment here on the blog or email me so that I can send you the pattern.  Speaking of Craftsy they are having a giveaway that I would encourage you to enter.

Pink, Teal and Gray Glimma Rag Quilt

I so love my wife's choice of colors.  Or maybe I like the designers choice that my wife picks.  Any way this beautiful quilt was made out of the Line called Glimma.  It is one that I enjoy much and have made a few quilts from

Tanya has been getting much better at the picture taking.  Though as you can see our back drop has a couple wrinkles in it and we have no desire to iron it.  But maybe we should any way.

This bottom is one I like.  Though I like the lighting better on the top one.  Any way its a pretty quilt.

Purple Owl Quilt

Tanya has been up to her old tricks again making cute rag quilts here is a cute purple owl quilt.  She also took the time recently to sit down and take pictures of many of our quilts that we have not yet posted and those that did not have great pictures I think she did a fantastic job.

For this quilt she had 2 alternating squares on the front with the purple flannel on the back.

Reunion Rag Quilt

I finally used my sewing machine again.  (This by Tanya)

Imagine, yet another rag quilt.  You can find our pattern for it on Craftsy.

Another quilt with Reunion.

Pictures were taken at park, while Julia played.

Someone keeps me busy, so not a lot of time for sewing.  Richard has her older sibling to help keep an eye on her so he is able to sew more.

Owl and Stars Rag Quilt

Today we would like to show off the newest Rag Quilt.  It is a cute and simple quilt made out of owl's and Stars.  The star's are ones we have used in a few different quilts we enjoy them much.

The back is a pretty blue Tie-dye that also has been used many times.

Perry Rag Quilt

Tanya found some cute Perry material while visiting the LQS and she just had to make her self a Perry Rag Quilt.  Me I am not so much a fan of Perry but my kids do love it and it looks like Tanya is kind of Pro Perry also.

She used some cute Turquoise and Gray Minkey along with the Perry Material (which is cotton)

I really do enjoy the gray and turquoise though as they blend together well.

Rag Quilt Time Again

Over the long Thanksgiving weekend Richard made a comment that I hadn't made a rag quilt for quite some time, so I made three.  The first had two fabrics, but seemed somewhat boring, so I had to add something to it.  I hit a Black Friday sale for a few pieces of flannel to complete some rag quilts.  I was very reserved and only came out with 2 yards of a few prints and 6-8 yards of a couple of solids.  Much better than my 12+ bolts last year.  Here is the first. I had the  dots and pink already but not quite enough to make a quilt.

I added the butterfly print to the mix.

The quilt has been added to Etsy store.  Richard is busy working on a quilt for our oldest James.  It is a twin size, hopefully it will be done for Christmas.

Another Custom Rag Quilt

A customer wanted a lavender, purple, and green rag quilt with elephants.  This quilt was done by Tanya, Richard is busy working on another custom baby quilt.  

 This cute rag quilt is 40 by 50.  It has a dark purple minky on the back.  

The front has two minky fabrics. The dark purple and a lavender with a rose pattern.   The rose minky is super cute, but sheds tons.  It has three cotton fabrics.

I used my embroidery machine to applique the elephants on 8 squares. The design wasn't designed for applique so I ended up doing some close trimming after it was sewn. I can see a few more baby quilts with elephants in the future.  I think this is one of the cutest rag quilts so far.  Just in case you are wondering, the flannel isn't gone, I've just been busy with other projects like laundry and other fun cleaning projects.
