Cool day today!

Good Morning!  Here in southeast Texas we have mostly warm weather -- very little winter.  Well, it turned cool during the weekend.  I don't expect the cool weather to last long, but it is kinda cool outside.  Time to take out those cozy quilts.  If you would like me custom made by me, just e-mail.  I've been making geneous lap quilts; about 50" by 60"; let me know your choice of color and if for man, woman or child.  Here's one I did a while back.....

I Spy Square Set

Good Morning! I didn't think my life could get any busier, but it has, lol. As some of you may know, my DH has been recuperating at my DD's house from major surgery. He returned last Saturday evening and I haven't stopped since then. He can take care of himself mostly, but I am helping him some. One thing he still can't do is cook; and remember, he cooks and I quilt! Well, my DS asked me to make a foil pocket last week. Yesterday, I decided that would make a good dinner. In the first place, I forgot how long it took to cut up the veggies, but it was pretty good, I think. Here is my simple recipe: layer a pan with foil; add 2.5 lbs of ground meat, season to taste. Add onion slices, cut up carrots, potatoes, squash, broccoli or whatever veggies you like. Sprinkle onion soup mix and Cajun seasoning over top. Layer foil over top. Bake 400 degrees for a hour and a half. Enjoy! For the whole recipe, check out my cookbook after I complete it. (It's been in the works for a while now, but I hope to finish it next year.)

I'm still working on square sets in my spare time. I had a special order for I Spy squares. The sizes are 5", but I also do 4". I'm posting a photo of one of the sets; each set will be different, though. I love to use these novelty squares in my I Spy blankies or quilts.

If you are interested, you can visit my etsy store, RaggyAnne, or e-mail.

I Spy charm 4 inch squares

There is a cool front here.  Of course, it's all of 85 degrees; guess that's good as it's been in the high 90s.  I'm thinking the A/C vent isn't working in the kitchen; I'm boiling some chicken and it sure is hot in there, lol.
I did work on the 4 inch squares.  Stopped at 48 different fabrics; I'm sure I have more, but didn't want to go digging.  Here's a photo of one of my listings:

What a year!

I don't believe I'll ever say that it can't get worst.  My DH had emergency sugery.  He's out of the hospital after eight days and is recuperating.  It's been a wild three years -- from the fire until this latest surgery.
I've been keeping busy watching DGDs, Meagan & Maddie, and working on I Spy squares.  I just listed three sets on etsy -- check them out!  My next project is to list 4" squares; I'm hoping to find 100 different prints.  I might be able to make it if I combine both boys & girls fabrics.  Here is a set I haven't listed yet.

I Spy blankie

Good Morning!  Yesterday was a wonderful Mother's Day!  My sweet DIL, Laurie, took a photo of Josh holding the newest I Spy blankie.  Josh is our youngest DGS; Meagan is sitting next to him.  They are loving cousins.  (If the photo doesn't show up, check my etsy items.)

It's March!

Seems like the year is flying by; it's already the 13th day of March. I'm still sewing up a storm. Here is the latest boy I Spy raggy quilt I made. I can make whatever size you want; just ask.

Peaceful Sunday....

It's been raining for a couple of days; it finally stopped today. Now, it's almost winter again. Good time to snuggle up in a warm quilt. My friend received her blue/yellow raggy quilt, which is about 46" by 58". I also made a girl I Spy quilt, which is about 36" square. You will notice that no two prints are identical; that is why all my quilts are one of a kind. If you're interested, I can custom make you a raggy quilt.

Good Morning, Wednesday, February 1st!

Good Morning! It's February 1st and it's muggy and drizzling, but I'm still glad to be alive. How about you?
I've been busy sewing and babysitting. What a great combination! I've been working on a special order; she wanted a blue & yellow raggy lap quilt. I'll post it as soon as it arrives in North Carolina.
Today I'm going to start on an I Spy raggy quilt. I only have one little blankie left to sell -- after all the ones I've made in the past. Maybe I'll make more than one, lol. Here is a photo of one of my I Spy quilts.
Have a great day!

Hello on 11/11/11

How is everyone doing? I've been busy, busy with grandkids and with sewing. I did finish the 3rd raggy quilt for my 3rd DGD. We had a nice birthday party at our house; she also had a party with her mom's family.
I've also been working on organizer totes. There are either 8 or 9 pockets, inside & outside; fabrics are 100% cotton. I can make them in your choice of colors and themes. E-mail me for details.

Handmade I Spy Raggy Quilt

I took a break from the charms I've been cutting out. I had these I Spy charms cut out since last year. I finished it today. Two years ago, I decided to make a quilt for each one of my grandchildren. I had made three of them; this one will be for Gabe. Now, I only have the three girls to make.
