I absolutely love Rag Quilting! It is such an easy and unique way to put a quilt together fast! The one in the picture to the left is a twin quilt I finished in one weekend using 7″ squares.
In general, clean from the top – down. That means dusting, wiping table surfaces and windows, then vacuuming and mopping. Think to yourself “what is wrong with this picture?” This is the whole clue to leaving your home in good order. Use your washing machine to clean the curtains and throw rugs, if possible. Make it easy on yourself – the home is for you to enjoy!
After you have finished cutting the entire quilt go ahead and toss it in the washing machine. This will be a little messy for your machine and you will want to wipe it out with a paper towel afterwards as you will have clumps of fabric in the machine. Then toss it in the dryer. After the dryer you will have a nice warm and fluffy rag quilt. The more you wash it the more it will fray and look gorgeous!
I see so many ladies who are just reacting like a rag doll to what’s going on outside of them instead of taking control by living on their own terms & frankly making their own decisions. I call this “worrying about what other people think syndrome”.
Now it is time to start putting it all together. rag quilt directions I do is line up the blocks in the order I want and start making a sandwich with all the fabrics I plan on using.
There are many ways to find clothes to sell online: wholesalers, liquidators, yard sales, thrift stores and clothes recyclers or rag houses. While there are benefits and drawbacks to all of them, my favorite place to get inventory is from clothes recyclers.
Keep your essential cleaning supplies in one area and preferably out of reach from small children and pets. A small carrier or bucket can hold the items as well as make it convenient to carry them from room to room. Keep your supplies to a minimum as this will make choosing the right supply easier and quicker which will get the job done sooner so you can go do what you really want to do.
