Rag Rugs

Does anybody remember these rag rugs . Very popular in the early 90s . Every quilt show had these rag rug how tos plus jelly rolls and giant blue hooks . I just have some jelly rolls Id like to use in this little rag rug. I have all the makings for one which Id like to make for my kitchen in front of the sink..It gets cold in winter here so I thought it would be a nice idea. I found a tutorial at http://vintagechica.typepad.com/the_life_and_times_of_thi/2006/10/rag_rug_tutoria.html#

Making these, whatever they are called, they are delicious !

These are really good , but take too much patience to make . I no longer have patience for the kitchen much these days..

Up Up and Away!

Dream quilt

I probably dont need this project but how can I refuse ? It is my background and it is a reminder of both my grandfathers who were a huge influence in my life . They were both in the Navy. One was an Admiral the other a Captain..I love this quilt !! It is a dream...Of course it is a Baltimore applique which could take me a few yrs..http://www.cottonpatchfabrics.com/cgi-bin/Store/store.cgi?cart_id=2101777.5512.s0&product=bom_new&productid=bom_ladiesofthesea&sales=0&lastmenu=
