Rag Quilts are Fun!!

First thing I must do is apologize for the photography. I took these pictures with my cell phone before leaving for work this morning. With that said - on to my post for today.
I have been intrigued by rag quilting. I searched around the internet and most of what I found said it was easy, fast and fun. I decided to try it. I bought various black/white fat quarters and some fabric for the back and began to make a small quilt for my daughter. She always gets my first attempts at anything. I must say it was so easy and fast!! I made it in one weekend! While it isn't perfect, rag quilting is quite forgiving =) Like I said at the start ~ the picture quality isn't the best but here is the result of my labor...



Last night, I had some time and decided to make a tote. There are things I will change next time around but overall I like it. It still needs to go through the wash.
This technique has my creativity on overdrive! As you can imagine...there will be more things to come. So many different ways I can use this! I really enjoy the simplicity of the rag quilting. The wheels are turning! Stay tuned!!
I hope you enjoy many blessings today! God is good indeed!

Etsy Bloggers Carnival ~ GREEN!

I must admit that I hadn't thought about "going green" with my etsy shop but I do have a couple of items that will fit the GREEN description. One is earth friendly and the other is just green!



My first item is my Go Green with the In the Pink Tote!



This is a the perfect tote for quick trips to the store. The front pocket is perfect for your wallet, keys and cell phone. It is made of 100% cotton yarn and is machine washable.



My second item is just green.
It is my U Bring the Lime bracelet.


This was totally inspired by warm summer days and frozen margaritas!

I hope you have enjoyed my GREEN post =) God bless!!
