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!
All of the Mysteries of Making a Rag Quilt are Revealed in This Book
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?
With This Book, Making a Rag Quilt in One Weekend is Easy!
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.
If You Can Sew a Straight Stitch, You can Make this Quilt!
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.
Get Ready for some Red Hat Fun! A NEW Rag Quilt Pattern is Born
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.
A Red Hat Rag Quilt Weekend! Fast and Fun.
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.
