For my final installment of the "You're my Inspiration" series I would like to highlight my friend Erin at Live 2 Craft.
She is always trying something new and sharing her ideas. We've been friends since high school and I feel so lucky to have known her for so long.
Thanks to her, and her incredible blog, I am a rag quilt sewing maniac! Take a look at some of my most recent creations that she helped inspire.
A rag quilt for our nephew. He hasn't been born yet but he's already got plenty of people hunched over sewing machines on his behalf!
A fun one for our friends J & J (actually for their new little miracle CJ.) I had never done the rectangle pattern before and I loved it. I have two more quilts in the works that are using my newly discovered style.
Finally, a quilt for our friends. Their last name is Little and the pattern of this fabric says, "Little Buddy." So cute!!
I will include instructions on how to complete your own rag quilt in an upcoming post. I'll even include pictures of the process! Stay tuned.
The pink one is my favorite - and CJ's too!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your new blog! It's a challenge but also such a great outlet. I'm excited to see all your cute crafts!
ReplyDeleteThank you!! I love your rag blankets and all the different designs you use, glad I could be some inspiration. I'm excited to see what else you come up with. I love the Valentines/St. Paddy Day blocks, so cute. I also love the picture of you and your friends crafting! So funny, because I've been there, done that as well. I'm with you, can't wait for a craft room or even a garage! Keep crafting and posting! (As a side note, I haven't forgotten your question about the pinwheels, I'm working on my 3rd technique in a quilt for the baby and if it works then I will post all three options!)
ReplyDeleteThese are super cute. I'd love to get the how-to so I don't go ruining fabric with my hodge podge guess =)
ReplyDeleteDon't worry Kelli! I'm working on two rag quilts right now. I'm taking pictures of the process so I can give a thorough tutorial. Stay tuned!
