These wonderful rag quilts have been made to donate to project Linus. Myself and some church ladies gathered at my home one afternoon and were able to sew together at least one rag quilt each. I then was able to trim and wash them all over the Christmas break. We have a drop off location here in Northern Maine that distributes them to the correct chapter.
I created a cute little poem & tag that gets attached to each rag quilts that is tied together with a matching ribbon.
I designed a new sew on label that is sewn in each bottom corner of each rag quilt.
This was created by first making my design in word and then printing it onto iron on transfer paper. It is then ironed on to twill tape. They make the perfect labels.
Each label has the verse Colossains 3:17

MAKE A QUILT
There are so many great charities to be a part of for making quilts or Rag quilts. My favorite is by far the rag quilts as they are very simple to make. Below are several with the directions for you to also make them and some listed charities you can send them along too.
My goal is to reach out to several charities in donating these rag quilts for individuals that need the comfort of their own special quilt in their travels to and from the hospital or when they have to stay at the hospital for treatments or for individuals that just need a warm blanket to comfort them in their times of need and keep them comfy and cozy.

The John Deere rag quilt was made for a special little boy from Make-A-Wish foundation. The rag quilt was made using a 9 1/2 x 9 1/2 square sewing a 1/2 seam. Once you sew all the blocks together you will then trim all the edges about 1/4" apart on all raw edges.
I finsish all my quilts by washing them in Baby purex and tying them off with a coordinating ribbon and poem I wrote below.
