That is a great story of determination. No, seriously. I haven't thought a quilt journal would be handy for me at all, but you should start one with this story, and continue with any of following stories of how life isn't about being easy. The strength and determination of your character would shine through those stories and be a good inspiration to your family. That's just IMHO.

Congratuations on finishing. Sorry about your finger. It might be worth your while if you intend to make a lot of rag quilts to invest in a Go. Our quilt club bought one and we all use it. We also bought several dies including the 8" rag block. It even cuts the fringe for you!!! Just a thought!!!! hugs from nw fl

What you could do is get an Accuquilt fabric cutter, They have a fabric cutter die just for rag quilts. This would save your finger and you will be amazed at how fast you can cut out a quilt. AND you don't have to cut those nasty fringe the cutter die cuts them for you. Good luck and Congrats on finishing the quilt.

It seems as if I struggle everytime I get on my machine, but I refuse to give up. What few quilts I have made everyone raves over them and makes me feel I've done something good with my life. And made others happy. Keep on keepin on girl!

Fun isn't it? I've only been quilting for about 6 months or so and am absolutely hooked. I've been doing a lot of charity quilts (Quilts For Kids.org) just to get the practice & it's very rewarding. Hope you can post a picture soon - would love to see what you did!
