Unlock the Secrets of Making an Incredibly Beautiful or Just Plain Fun
and Funky Rag Quilt Using this Proven and Simple, Step-By-Step System

Your friends will be begging you to make a rag quilt for them. They may
even go out and buy the fabric and give it to you so you will have
everything you need to make a rag quilt for them.

This self-taught quilter of more than 30 years can teach you how to
make a rag quilt using a simple 7 step system. The step-by-step Rag
Quilt in a Weekend guidebookl reveals all the secrets experienced
quilters forget to tell beginners - or, are they trying to keep
secrets?

From: Penny Halgren

Dear Friend,

Making a rag quilt was the furthest thing from her mind when Ellen
entered her local quilt shop. She was in search of a fun, light-hearted
quilt that she could make for her son who was leaving for college.

She immediately went over to the quilt patterns and books to begin her
search. As she explored the possibilities, a picture of a rag quilt
jumped out at her. It was perfect! The quilt was made from 8" squares
and all of the seams were on the outside, so you couldn't really tell
whether they matched or not.

Ellen is a beginning quilter, and she decided that this quilt looked so
easy to make that she could probably make it by herself. She bought the
fabric and a book with the rag quilt pattern in it, and headed home.

Later that evening, she called me, almost in tears. The rag quilt
instructions in the book were so confusing, she couldn't figure out
where to begin.

We decided that sewing a rag quilt together would be our weekend
project, and we would work on it until it was complete. Her son was
leaving in two weeks, and we figured that with both of us working, the
quilt could be made in the weekend.

She was right. The instructions that were in that book were very
unclear. It was a good thing that we had the rag quilt pictures to
guide us. Other than that, we would have been completely lost.

That weekend, we sewed, ripped and re-sewed. We wasted fabric since we
cut some of the pieces the wrong size. And it took much longer than it
should have. We laughed and we kept going.

It was my first rag quilt, and I knew that any quilter could make a rag
quilt easily, if they had a complete set of instructions - step-by-step
and fully illustrated, telling them exactly how to make a rag quilt.

And, so, I wrote the instructions - Rag Quilt in a Weekend!

All of the Mysteries of Making a Rag Quilt are Revealed in This Book

From fabric cutting to seam cutting, you get everything you need in Rag
Quilt in a Weekend!

* Did you know that your rag quilt can be made from flannel, denim,
cotton or cotton blends? Rag Quilt in a Weekend! divulges why
polyester might not be the best choice for a rag quilt, and what
type of fabric might be better. With complete knowledge, you decide
what kind of fabric to use, based on who your quilt is for and how
it will be used. No guessing or playing "follow the leader." You
choose based on what you want. And your trip to the quilt shop will
be relaxing and completely fun, because you will know exactly how
much fabric to buy.

* Sew your blocks together with the speed and efficiency of a
professional tailor. This book is jam-packed with tips and tricks
to save you time sewing your blocks together. Did you know that one
of the most frustrating parts of making a quilt is keeping the
blocks in the right sewing order? Rag Quilt in a Weekend! lets you
in on the secrets of keeping your blocks in the correct sewing
order, and shows you how to speed piece - saving you precious time
and energy.
* Seams open or sewn to one side? That really is the question in
making this quilt. For patchwork quilts, quilters generally agree
it is best to fold seam allowances to one side. Is that true for
rag quilts, too? Sometime "yes," and sometimes "no." You'll find
out when to open `em up, when to fold `em over, and why in your
copy of Rag Quilt in a Weekend!
* Binding or no binding? The simple answer is that this rag quilt
requires no binding. You will discover the easy method for
finishing the edges of this rag quilt to secure the inside layer
and ensure that your quilt doesn't "fringe away."
* Fringing and finishing - what makes it fringe, and how do you
created the fringe without ruining your quilt? All of the
techniques to create the fringe and finishing touches are right at
your fingertips. Your finished quilt will age with grace as it is
loved and used, and will be just as together 50 years from now as
it is today.

From Fabric Cutting to Seam Cutting! Make sense now?

With This Guidebook, Making a Rag Quilt in One Weekend is Easy!

rag quilt front
rag quilt

Using these instructions, you can
easily make a reversible rag quilt!

Once the book was finished, I discovered that armed with a complete
instruction guide, you can make a rag quilt in just one weekend!
Easily!

That doesn't mean you need to get up at the crack of dawn, drink 57
cups of coffee to keep you going, eat as you quilt, ignore the family,
dog and cat, allow the dishes to stack up in the kitchen, stay up until
the wee hours of the morning, rest for an hour or two, then get up and
start again, hoping that by the end of the second day, you still have a
few clean dishes in the cupboard, your family hasn't left you, the cat
and dog are still your friends, and your rag quilt is complete.

Finished in a weekend doesn't mean any of that. Finished in a weekend
means that you can easily complete this quilt - from cutting fabric to
cutting seams (fringing your rag quilt), working only 4-5 hours each
day; maybe even less.

You get speed and efficiency because you have all of the rag quilt
instructions and guidance you need to zip right through making this
quilt. Including full color photographs of each step, so you can see
and read exactly what to do next.

If You Can Sew a Straight Stitch, You can Make this Quilt!

A true beginner - even a non-quilter - can make this rag quilt. All of
the sewing is simple, straight seams, and can be done on the machine.
Even if you never thought about making a quilt, planned to make a
quilt, or imagined that you could make a quilt, you can make this one!

Intermediate and advanced quilters may choose to simply refer to the
pictures and zip right through making the quilt, checking in for the
tips, tricks and shortcuts sprinkled throughout the book.

Regardless of your skill level, your finished quilt will look like it
was made by an experienced quilter. Your family and friends will be
amazed at your creativity and skill.

Get Ready for some Red Hat Fun! A NEW Rag Quilt Pattern is Born

The weekend after Ellen and I finished the rag quilt for her son,
another friend and I went to a concert in a local park. We were
relaxing and enjoying the fresh night air and lively music. We watched
as a very festive group of ladies started gathering - first two, then
two more, then one more.

The next thing we knew, there were 17 ladies - all wearing purple and
donning beautiful and fancy Red Hats! What a fabulous time they had -
dancing, laughing, eating snow cones (it was a hot summer night here) -
enjoying the good times. Their frolic made our evening even more
enjoyable.

And then I learned about the Red Hat Society - a wonderful, fun-loving
group of ladies.

Then it dawned on me - why not design a Red Hat Rag Quilt? The very
next day, I started on the pattern; and within a week had the pattern,
made the quilt, and wrote the instructions. Whew!

It's ready for you and available only at
Rag-Quilt-Instructions

Red Hat Rag Quilt This pattern is so new, you are GUARANTEED to be the
first quilter in your group to have it.

Your copy of Rag Quilt in a Weekend! includes instructions and the
pattern for the Red Hat Rag Quilt, plus full size templates for the hat
brim pieces (the triangles). In addition, your book has tricks for
cutting the fabric efficiently and with little waste - even though you
are cutting triangles. And the book shows you exactly how to cut and
sew the triangles simply and easily.

Rag Quilt in a Weekend! also includes color diagrams showing the layout
for each of the pieced blocks within the Red Hat Rag Quilt, and how the
pieces fit together to make the centerpiece of this quilt - the bright
Red Hat.

A Red Hat Rag Quilt Weekend! Fast and Fun.

For you Red Hat Ladies, this could be your runaway weekend. Plan your
outing at a retreat in the woods, order in your meals, and enjoy sewing
in the company of your Red Hat Chapter companions.

Maybe some of your members don't sew at all. Have them cut fabric and
entertain the sewing group. Remember, though, this quilt is so easy to
make, a beginner can make it.

Maybe nobody in your Red Hat Chapter sews - start something new and
have a great time!

At the end of the weekend, you can each have your own quilt. Or have a
weekend where you make rag quilts for a charity. Wouldn't the kids at
Children's Hospital just love to snuggle with a festive Red Hat Rag
Quilt? Or maybe the seniors in the retirement home would enjoy one of
these Fast, Fun and Funky Quilts to brighten their day and know that
people care about them.
