The Mini Rag Quilt

 I had it stuck in my head I wanted to try my hand

at making a rag quilt ... so I pulled out the flannel and

cut some 8" squares.  This picture is after I sewed them together.

Notice the seams are side up.  Once I clipped all the edges 1/4"

it was time to toss it in the washer.  Everything was fine up to

that point - quick and easy.

The issue is the mess it made in the dryer.   To achieve that

'ragged' look you need to snip the seams, wash it and

dry it.  I needed to stop the dryer every 5 minutes to clean

the lint screen.  Even though it's a cute style of quilt I 

won't be rushing to make another one soon.

 Marinna's Room

Marinna's mom {Sherry} sent me pictures 

of the quilts I sent her as gifts.  

In Marinna's Easter box I sent a small tub

of pink, purple, and yellow sprinkles with a note

saying when she comes to visit her grand parents

during the summer we can bake cupcakes.  

Sherry said Marinna gave her orders not to dare 

use the sprinkles because she's bringing them back

so we can use them when we bake cupcakes.  

It sounds like a fun time to me.
