LOL...so true and some people will sew and some will buy. Buy from you, they will...because your guilts are gorgeous and PERSONALIZED!

I got that fabric at JoAnn's last fall. I haven't seen it there lately, but you never know when it will be back. If I see it, I will let you know. I'm always on the lookout for yorkie fabric, just nothing out there

I love making the quilts.. I think I spend more time planing what fabric to use and buying the fabric and cutting the fabric then I do sewing. But that is me.
The trouble with being crafty is you always try to make things instead of buying.
It is like the beautiful yorkie dolls someone was selling for 100.00.... they were beautiful, but I keep thinking "I could make that" .. at some point there are not enough hours in the day!! I just want to buy and enjoy!!

I love it! It's absolutely beautiful.

Sigi · 08-20-2011, 09:46 PM

Wow, that's so pretty! Nice work!

I might look at those youtube vids. I have a sewing machine collecting dust in my closet. It would be nice to have some projects this winter. I'm just a beginner though.

Wow that is beautiful! I wish I could make a quilt. I'm more of a free-hander. I just sew without fancy cuts and measuring so quilting probably would be frustrating for me. Love the colors, great job!

Thanks!! I had fun making it. I had a crappy scissor, after I made the blanket, my fingers were bruised. lol it's worth it though!

Is a sewing machine required to make a rag quilt? I have one...but don't know how to use it...I've experimented several times...I'm still not getting it...I think I will have to end up taking some classes...hehe

Yes, you do need sewing machine. On each square before joing them, you sewing a line corner to corner which makes a big X, then those are the squares you sew together to make the quilt.

Your quilt is beautiful! You have inspired me to wear out another pair of scissors!

Ziva will be snuggled up this winter.
