Tattered Treasures: Rag Quilts by Sherri Rice

I'm linking up with Kelly's Korner "Show us your Life" today to show you a few of the rag quilts I make. These are perfect as a throw for the couch or as a baby gift for some one special! I do take special orders, so if you have a certain color or theme, I would be happy to work with you.

For those that are local, I have several quilts available at Vintage Glam and Junque in down town Rogers. I can also ship for an additional fee. All of these quilts are machine wash and dry, so you don't have to be afraid to use them! I think they get better after each wash.

Pink and white floral with a nursery rhyme toile. This one can be seen in person at Vintage Glam and Junque.

For the back I chose a Mary Engelbreit fabric, green checks and pink flowers.

For the Hog Fan. Enough said!

Burgundy, brown and tan.

Turquoise, Lime Green, Black and White.

I also make burp cloths and bibs to coordinate with the quilts.

Jungle Babies theme.

I made this quilt extra fancy! I embellished some of the squares with yo-yo's and vintage buttons.

I think the Mom-to-be will be pleased with the results!

If you are looking for a special, hand-made gift I would love to work with you! Leave me a comment and I will be in contact with you.

Purple Floral Quilt

Here is my latest quilt!

Each one I finish is "my Favorite", but I really like how this one looks! Purple is one of my favorite colors, so when I spotted this flannel fabric I knew I had to make something with it. I wanted to try a little smaller sized quilt, and I am pleased with this 5 by 5 block size. It will be perfect to snuggle a beautiful baby girl!

The back is this pretty lilac flannel.

This quilt is for sale for $55.00. The finished size is approximately 36" by 36".

I am taking custom orders! You may choose whether you want cotton, flannel or a combination of the two in your colors. Just leave me a comment and we can work out the details!

A New Hobby

I have always been a "crafty" sort of person - I love making something out of nothing! When I was growing up I loved watching my Grandma as she would take scraps of fabric and create a beautiful quilt. She was very proud of the fact that she made a quilt for each of her grandchildren as a wedding gift.

I tried to quilt once before, but I started out thinking I could make a king size wedding ring quilt and I quickly became discouraged and gave up. Recently I came across instructions for a rag quilt. It was just the right size project to try. Especially considering that there is a mini baby boom going on in our family right now!

The weather this winter has been CRAZY! However, it has made it very enjoyable to sit at the sewing machine and create some custom gifts for babies, and a special lap quilt for when you need "just a little something" to take the chill off. I thought I would share a few pictures (Okay, a LOT) of my new hobby.

These are the colors my Niece is using in their son's nursery. I took this photo when I just about had it all cut out. I am SO GLAD I have the rotary cutter and mat!

My little sewing center :)
Here are the blocks all pinned together and ready to sew.

I had to lay it out on the floor and number each row so that I was sure to sew them together in the right order.

And here it is ready to give to the Mom-to-be!

That project got me so excited I decided to try one in flannel fabrics too. It turned out VERY cute!

I chose greens and yellow for this quilt since I didn't know if it was for a boy or girl.

It is so warm and snuggly!

The baby feet fabric on the back is adorable!

I have been officially bitten by the quilting bug! I did this one just because I loved these prints together.

Clipping all of those seams takes time, but gives the quilt such a unique look.

I love how this turned out!

My Mom loves yellow and blue, so it isn't hard to figure out who this is for! Butterflies are also one of her favorites, so when I saw this fabric I knew I had to have it.

It turned out very pretty I think!

I am selling the cotton quilts for $55.00 and the flannel quilts are $65. I would be happy to ship to you for an additional fee. I currently have about a two week turn around on new orders. Leave me a comment if you would like more information or would like to place an order.
