Drag Around Rag Quilt

Drag-around-rag-quilt Two days ago I posted this Drag Around Rag Quilt on my Chic n Scratch Fan Page and the response was fantastic!! 

I shared this picture and ask if they’d like a Virtual Drag Around Rag Quilt Class and I’m happy to report that it’s in the works. 

I’m really enjoying using Facebook along with my blog …. Click here if you’d like to become a Fan of my Chic n Scratch Fan Page.  I accept friends on my regular account but I share very little on the personal side …if you want the scoop ..it’s better to become a fan of my Fan Page.

If I reach 3,000 fans by Tuesday …I’m going to draw 5 names to win the Virtual Drag Around Quilt Class for FREE.

Looking ahead to Next Week:  

  • Stampin” Up! Last Chance Stamp List (or Retiring Stamps list) will be available June 1st.
  • Pretty Postage Box video has been delayed until Tuesday (personal reasons…see below).
  • Virtual Drag Around Quilt Class Details will be posted.

On a personal note: 

  • Chase is doing better every day … June 7th we’ll have Xrays to see how he’s healing and hopefully after that he’ll be able to put weight on it ……and start physical therapy. 
  • Sissy (one of our Bichons) is really sick and we’re faced some awful decisions 🙁

Thanks for stopping by …….have a safe Memorial Day weekend!!!

Savanna Bag Tutorial

How to make a Savanna Bag Video tutorial by Angie Juda

We share three sizes of the Savanna Bag in the video but we will demonstrate how to make the larger size. 

Our scallop squares were cut with the Scallop Square Die but you could use a Charm Pack instead.  The squares are only slightly larger. But don’t forget to increase the size of your fusible fleece. 

Update: I’ve combined all four videos into one video, here ya go….

Here’s four videos to show you how to make the Large Savanna Bag. Also known as the Savanna Purse.

I used the Big Shot Die Cut Machine with  the Scallop Square die to cut the fabric.

Savanna’s Purse

Good morning!
This is a purse I made over the Thanksgiving holiday (thanks Donna for helping me!!!)  It’s going to be Savanna’s purse (one of my nieces) for Christmas. 

 I wish I could say I used the Big Shot to make it but I didn’t.  We used a Jelly Roll and a new item that I hadn’t used before.   Fusible Fleece (and wow …..  have you seen how many choices you have?).  And I learned how to make a ruffle for the top of a purse (which is what this purse is missing…like pockets …I felt like it’s over my head).

Have a great day!

p.s. would you like a good laugh?  yesterday I created two new blogs (I know another one…I just have this need to keep everything organized).  One is for my local girls so I can update them on local events…..for example coming over and quilting with me. And the other one was for technical stuff….my thoughts were I’m always trying new things, some work, some don’t and I thought it would be a great place for me to rattle on about the technical side of my business.    So, the irony of it is….I create a Technical blog to share my knowledge and then I wake up today with my blog out of sorts and I don’t have a clue how to fix it.  Maybe I should add a footer to the blog that I’m not an expert….. I’m just sharing my experiences 🙂

 

December Free Stamp set or Purse

My post today is going to be a Hodgepodge of things!!   I’d like to start off by saying “Thanks” to all the ladies that purchased Stampin’ Up! product from me during my Black Friday Cyber Monday Sale.  Thank you!!

I filmed my first live stream on UStream today and I’m not sure if I even did it right.  It was live and I think I may have repeated myself too many times …oh well, I’m learning.  I’ll continue to educate myself on it and see what kind of fun we can have with it.  For example, posting the winners names…maybe next time I’ll just draw the name and save the release of the next months product for my blog post (I’m rattling…so I’ll stop here).

If you’d like to see that video, it’s posted on my channel on You Tube (chicnscratch) or on UStream.

The winners for the November Stamp set & purse are Dawn Guerriero & Sue Speigner.  Congrats ladies!!  Dawn, you have your choice of the purse or the stamp set….just let me know which item you’d like.

Now for the December Free Stamp Set or Purse ……. (two winners, the first name drawn will get 1st choice & it will be broadcast live on UStream).

Dec Free purse 

I made this Wild Thyme purse with the Scallop Square Die & the Big Shot Die Cut Machine.  I’m working on a Tutorial and as soon as I get it figured out I’ll be sure to let you know.  This bag is my 4th attempt at a bag for my Kindle ….or is it my fifth? (I’ve since moved on and I’m making larger purses….you’ll see very soon).  I’m happy with this size and I think it’s perfect for my Kindle plus a few other items. 

The Free Stamp set for December is Fox & Friends & it’s a set that will be available in January in the Occasions Mini Catalog. (If you’re a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator you can pre-order it now.)

December 3rd update….I’m very sorry but the Fox & Friends stamp set can not be given for free this month. I didn’t realize that it’s against the rules for me to give a set away before it’s available to purchase.  I’ll figure out what set I can offer you in the next few days.

My next picture is a couple quick & easy cards I made using the Fox & Friends stamp set. We all know I like cards I can whip out really fast and these darling images puts a smile on my face!!

Next is a larger image of the purse…I couldn’t figure out which one to show you so I’m posting both of them.

Scallop Square Purse

The final picture of the day cracks me up!! Over the weekend I ask David to lift my table where I cut my fabric.  Leaning over was really getting to my back. So, I googled how to raise my 6″ table and it said to use PVC pipe.   Well, we did it…and here’s the results……

Table legs 

Isn’t that funny looking?  But you know…..it works!  No more hurting my back when I’m cutting fabric!  I’m thinking I need to cover up those legs…..I see a glimpse of them from the corner of my eye and I swear it reminds me of horses legs being wrapped! 

Sorry for the long post….have a great night!!

Rag Quilt Blanket or Throw

Good afternoon,

I took a trip to the fabric store and decided to get started on my Rag Quilt Blanket …… or is a throw?  I searched online for all the details and there’s a lot of info on this subject.  What I’ve decided to do is make the quilt based on a hodge podge of info and then try to incorporate Stampin’ Up! in the process (on the next rag quilt).

For example, my first Rag Quilt Purse was made with just regular 5″ squares and after I made it I decided to use the Scallop Square Die.  What a time saver that was!!  I cut 126 squares last night and 63 this morning. Having the Big Shot do the cutting really does save you time!

Here’s a picture of my squares and I purchased this fabric at Quilters Haven in Olathe, KS.

Winter quilt 

Here’s all of them……

Snowman quilt 

The next picture is how I figured it out on paper.  I decided after much research that I wanted my throw to have 7 squares across with 9 down. Each square is a 6″ square.  I need 63 squares for the front and 63 for the back.   I also need 63 squares of batting and I choose 4 1/4 for the size.  Notice how I said “I choose”?  There’s a lot of info out there and I’m just a beginner so I’m going with what the ladies tell me at the quilting store.

7x9quilt 

Here’s how I figured out how many squares I needed of each pattern. 

Snowmansquares 

I’m not sure when I’ll get started but for now my squares are ready for whenever I have some time to sew (usually very late at night when I’m too tired for anything else).

If you emailed me about the Cowboy prints on my sisters purse. I went back to Quilters Haven and bought some more fabric and now I have the names.  Here ya go:

  • The pattern with the horse & saddle is “Back in the Saddle” copyright by Anita Phillips & licensed to Wilmington prints.
  • The pattern with the red stripes with blue stars doesn’t have a name on it but it does say Patt. 3719 and the website is www.andoverfabrics.com.
  • The burnt red pattern with cream stars is 1867 Gloria by Bonnie Sullivan. 
  • Horse shoe pattern was sold out but you could use  022 Zen Stripe Makower uk.
  • Pattern on bottom of purse wasn’t shown in the picture and it doesn’t have a name on it.  When you’re buying the fabric just look for a pattern that has the same colors in it.

I bought several patterns of new fabric & I’ll save it for next weekend.

Have a great day!

Deanna’s purse

Good morning!

I have one more purse to show you….Deanna’s flying home in a few hours and I wanted to show you the purse before she leaves. I took her to the fabric store on Friday and in less than 24 hours I made her this purse (while we talked I was sewing).   

 
It’s missing the button to close it…..she’ll need to find a cute western button in Tennessee…..not that we don’t have them in Kansas City but we didn’t want to spend all our time together shopping.

Have a great day!
