Santa drove through our neighborhood on a fire truck. Here he is -- freezing. We have no street lights so the picture isn't very good... and who could see anyway! We waited outside for a couple minutes. Yikes did we get cold. It was about 20º or so. Hum, that pillow is sinking badly! But he was a good sport. No quilting done today. Long choir rehearsal after church as we tried to learn the music for next week. This is a very low key choir... we only practice Sunday for less than an hour. Not too bad sound wise (unless you are music major!) Then we had a little bit of shopping to do. Later we went to a party in the neighborhood. Nice day but, as I said, no quilting really.
But here are a couple of pictures of my finished rag quilt. I had all the fabric and batting except one yard of red I purchased to add a little more color. Pretty cool. This is the quilt that Pat helped with clipping. I've already started the trimming and cutting of another rag quilt. Don't know when I will make it but at least some of the cutting is done. This is a present that I'll need to get out in the mail in the next day or two. The recipient should enjoy it thoroughly!
What a fun and fast quilt this is! I'm sure a second, and maybe a third one is in my future. I still have enough flannel for at least two more.
Bonnie, I LOVE your rag quilt! I see you used homespuns... do you have a close up photo? Did you sandwich with flannel in between? Nice job! Rag quilts are my next project after I finish the bathroom curtains and also do some machine embroidery on pillowcases and kitchen towels.
