Knit Rag rug

                               Easy Peasy Knit rag rug
This is great project for using up your leftover strips of fabric. 1", 1 and half to 2" strips work. This rug measures approx. 
32"by 36".  Join the strips of fabric by tying the ends with a square knot. Use size 17 knitting needles. Cast on 34 stitches, knit in garter stitch to the desired length and then bind off all the stitches. I am not a knitter. I watched You-Tube demonstrations to learn how. This is a  great project to do while watching television.  A word of warning- it's addicting!

Wonky Stars

This bright quilt was for my  5th grandson. I need to find my pattern to give credit to the designer, I believe it is called lopsided hearts. (I substituted stars)

ABC Quilt

This quilt was for my 4th Grandson. It is called Alphabet Crib Quilt from the book Celebrate with Little Quilts, by Alice Berg, Mary Ellen Von Holt and Sylvia Johnson page 72. (Prairie points are a little crowded)

Dresses Quilt

This quilt is from the pattern, Pretty Dresses from the book Quilting with My Sister 15 Projects to Celebrate Women's Lives by Barbara Brandeburg and Teri Christopherson . (I added sleeves)
