Your
friends will be begging you to make a rag quilt for them. They
may even go out and buy the fabric and give it to you so you will
have everything you need to make a rag quilt for them.
From:
Penny Halgren
Dear
Friend,
Making
a rag quilt was the furthest thing from her mind when Ellen entered
her local quilt shop. She was in search of a fun, light-hearted
quilt that she could make for her son who was leaving for college.
She
immediately went over to the quilt patterns and books to begin
her search. As she explored the possibilities, a picture of a
rag quilt jumped out at her. It was perfect! The quilt
was made from 8” squares and all of the seams were on the outside,
so you couldn’t really tell whether they matched or not.
Ellen
is a beginning quilter, and she decided that this quilt looked
so easy to make that she could probably make
it by herself. She bought the fabric and a book with the rag quilt
pattern in it, and headed home.
Later
that evening, she called me, almost in tears. The rag quilt instructions
in the book were so confusing, she couldn’t figure out
where to begin.
We
decided that sewing a rag quilt together would be our weekend
project, and we would work on it until it was complete. Her son
was leaving in two weeks, and we figured that with both of us
working, the quilt could be made in the weekend.
She
was right. The instructions were very unclear. It was a good thing
that we had the rag quilt pictures to guide us. Other than that,
we would have been completely lost.
That
weekend, we sewed, ripped and re-sewed. We wasted fabric since
we cut some of the pieces the wrong size. And it took much longer
than it should have. We laughed and we kept going.
It
was my first rag quilt, and I knew that any quilter could
make a rag quilt easily, if they had a complete set of
instructions - step-by-step and fully illustrated, telling them
exactly how to make a rag quilt.
And,
so, I wrote the instructions - Rag Quilt in a Weekend!
From
fabric cutting to seam cutting, you get everything you
need in Rag Quilt in a Weekend!
-
Did you know that your rag quilt can be made from flannel, denim,
cotton or cotton blends? Rag Quilt in a Weekend!
divulges why polyester might not be the best choice for a rag
quilt, and what type of fabric might be better. With complete
knowledge, you decide what kind of fabric to
use, based on who your quilt is for and how it will be used.
No guessing or playing “follow the leader.” You choose based
on what you want. And your trip to the quilt shop will
be relaxing and completely fun, because you will know
exactly how much fabric to buy.
- Sew
your blocks together with the speed and efficiency of a professional
tailor. This book is jam-packed with tips and tricks
to save you time sewing your blocks together. Did you know that
one of the most frustrating parts of making a quilt is keeping
the blocks in the right sewing order? Rag Quilt in a
Weekend! lets you in on the secrets of keeping your
blocks in the correct sewing order, and shows you how to speed
piece – saving you precious time and energy.
- Seams
open or sewn to one side?
That really is the question in making this quilt. For
patchwork quilts, quilters generally agree it is best to fold
seam allowances to one side. Is that true for rag quilts, too?
Sometime “yes,” and sometimes “no.” You’ll find out when to
open ‘em up, when to fold ‘em over, and why in your copy of
Rag Quilt in a Weekend!
- Binding
or no binding? The simple answer is that this rag quilt
requires no binding. You will discover the easy method
for finishing the edges of this rag quilt to secure
the inside layer and ensure that your quilt doesn’t “fringe
away.”
- Fringing
and finishing – what makes it fringe, and how do you
created the fringe without ruining your quilt? All of the techniques
to create the fringe and finishing touches are right at your
fingertips. Your finished quilt will age with grace as it is
loved and used, and will be just as together 50 years from now
as it is today.
From
Fabric Cutting to Seam Cutting! Make sense now?
Once
the book was finished, I discovered that armed with a complete
instruction guide, you can make a rag quilt in just one
weekend! Easily!
That
doesn’t mean you need to get up at the crack of dawn, drink 57
cups of coffee to keep you going, eat as you quilt, ignore the
family, dog and cat, allow the dishes to stack up in the kitchen,
stay up until the wee hours of the morning, rest for an hour or
two, then get up and start again, hoping that by the end of the
second day, you still have a few clean dishes in the cupboard,
your family hasn’t left you, the cat and dog are still your friends,
and your rag quilt is complete.
Finished
in a weekend doesn’t mean any of that. Finished in a weekend means
that you can easily complete this quilt – from
cutting fabric to cutting seams (fringing your rag quilt), working
only 4-5 hours each day; maybe even less.
You
get speed and efficiency because you have all
of the rag quilt instructions and guidance you
need to zip right through making this quilt. Including
full color photographs of each step, so you can see and read exactly
what to do next.
A
true beginner – even a non-quilter – can make this rag quilt.
All of the sewing is simple, straight seams,
and can be done on the machine. Even if you never thought about
making a quilt, planned to make a quilt, or imagined that you
could make a quilt, you can make this one!
Intermediate
and advanced quilters may choose to simply refer to the pictures
and zip right through making the quilt, checking in for the tips,
tricks and shortcuts sprinkled throughout the book.
Regardless
of your skill level, your finished quilt will look like it was
made by an experienced quilter. Your family and friends
will be amazed at your creativity and skill.
The
weekend after Ellen and I finished the rag quilt for her son,
another friend and I went to a concert in a local park. We were
relaxing and enjoying the fresh night air and lively music. We
watched as a very festive group of ladies started gathering –
first two, then two more, then one more.
The
next thing we knew, there were 17 ladies – all wearing
purple and donning beautiful and fancy Red Hats! What
a fabulous time they had – dancing, laughing, eating snow cones
(it was a hot summer night here) – enjoying the good times. Their
frolic made our evening even more enjoyable.
And
then I learned about the Red Hat Society – a wonderful, fun-loving
group of ladies.
Then
it dawned on me – why not design a Red Hat Rag Quilt?
The very next day, I started on the pattern; and within a week
had the pattern, made the quilt, and wrote the instructions. Whew!
It’s
ready for you and available only at www.Rag-Quilt-Instructions.com.
 This
pattern is so new, you are GUARANTEED to be the first
quilter in your group to have it.
Your
copy of Rag Quilt in a Weekend! includes instructions
and the pattern for the Red Hat Rag Quilt, plus full
size templates for the hat brim pieces (the triangles).
In addition, your book has tricks for cutting the fabric efficiently
and with little waste – even though you are cutting triangles.
And the book shows you exactly how to cut and sew the
triangles simply and easily.
Rag
Quilt in a Weekend! also includes color diagrams showing
the layout for each of the pieced blocks within the Red
Hat Rag Quilt, and how the pieces fit together to make
the centerpiece of this quilt – the bright Red Hat.
For
you Red Hat Ladies, this could be your runaway weekend. Plan your
outing at a retreat in the woods, order in your meals, and enjoy
sewing in the company of your Red Hat Chapter companions.
Maybe
some of your members don’t sew at all. Have them cut fabric and
entertain the sewing group. Remember, though, this quilt is so
easy to make, a beginner can make it.
Maybe
nobody in your Red Hat Chapter sews – start something new and
have a great time!
At
the end of the weekend, you can each have your own quilt. Or have
a weekend where you make rag quilts for a charity.
Wouldn’t the kids at Children’s Hospital just love to snuggle
with a festive Red Hat Rag Quilt? Or maybe the
seniors in the retirement home would enjoy one of these Fast,
Fun and Funky Quilts to brighten their day and know that people
care about them.
