I'm back!

Hello! I'm back finally. We've been back in our house since the middle of June; however, it's been a whirlwind. We've had to buy new furniture, linens, plasticware, staples, etc. We're still emptying boxes and moving things around. I would never suggest having a house fire, but it is nice to have a new kitchen. Here are some photos of part of my kitchen. I do love the new pantry, with the deep, deep shelves.

I've also been busy making raggy totebags. My new DIL, Laurie, has been getting orders for me. I will be posting photos in my selling blog soon. I'm so glad to be back and will be posting regularly again. Bye for now.....

Long Absence

Sorry I've been missing for so long. I was busy working on charm table runners and started a new charm quilt. Then we had a house fire. I know how lucky we were that no one was hurt and our house did not burnt down. However, we did lose our kitchen and den. The only furniture saved out of those rooms were my mother's rocker and my DH's little table. There is smoke and water damage; I'm still hoping to save my sewing room. I'll see after the Recover team does their job. I do have to say that we have a wonderful insurance company. I don't know if I can name it, but the initials are S F. We had a good policy and they are treating us more than fair. We are using their Premier groups; so far, have a recovery team, a building team and a textile clean up team. This happened on Wednesday night; by Thursday, we were visited by the adjuster, the recovery team and the contractor. By Friday, the kitchen & den were already emptied. Saturday, those two rooms were demolished. Today, they're starting in the Living Room. Even though I'm not doing any of the physical work, I'm having to say keep or toss, so it's very emotional.
I am also thankful that all the items up for sale in my selling blog was in airtight totes. I am planning on putting it on vacation mode, though; at least until the clean up is finished.
Warning to everyone: have a fire extinguisher in your kitchen!
I'll be back when I can......

Handmade Spring Rag Table Runners

I wanted to sew something for Spring, so came up with these charm raggy table runners. They are 8" by 20"; a perfect size for almost anything little table, or even the back of a toliet. I will be listing them in my selling blog; just click on the little Raggy Anne banner on side of screen.

I did draw the names for my giveaway. Check in Raggy Anne Creations selling blog 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.

New Charm Quilt Top

I decided to sew together some charms into a quilt top. Are you asking what is a charm quilt? Each square is a different print -- no duplications. This one is 45" square. It will be listed on etsy.

Now selling quilt squares

This weekend I've had fun working on a table runner for a friend. Can't show a photo until she receives it, but will post a photo when I can. I think I'll make another one for myself.
Tomorow I'll be back to cutting out charm squares. I've decided I will try to sell quilt squares on etsy. I listed three today. Check out my etsy shop. (I've not listed the squares shown in the photo yet.)
It's been fun as I've found fabric I forgot I had.
