Juan-Diego's Dinosaur Rag Quilt




This is Juan-Diego's dinosaur quilt. It is made with just a layer of flannel front and back. No batting or X in the squares. This is a nice lightweight toddler size quilt and he carries it around with him all over. It is very soft and cuddly. He curls up it it to watch movies, and takes it in the car when he thinks he's cold. When he's having a bad day he even takes it with him to the sitter's. I love the bright colors, it's very cheerful.

Rag Quilt - Frogs and Flowers

I have a serious addiction to sewing rag quilts. I'm going to do a crafts fair in November, so I'm making a bunch of these in the hopes they will sell at the fair.
This one with the frogs and flowers is one of my more recent creations and is up for grabs. It has 6" blocks, cotton on the front with two layers of cotton flannel on the back. The rags came out very rich and full. Disregard the 2005 date, I forgot to reset the date on my camera when I changed the batteries. :)

O-R-E-O


America's favorite cookie, also a favorite midnight snack of the local slugs. I wonder if he goes for the cream filling first? I wouldn't have seen this had the dog not insisted on taking a walk in the middle of the night. Thanks, Charlie. I'm up.
