PROJECT LINUS RAG QUILTS

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

 

CREATE YOUR OWN SEW IN LABELS

I wanted my sew in labels to match my blog header of my blog and my business cards. So after some playing around I came up with these. I designed them first in Word, printed them on iron on transfer for fabric and ironed them onto Twill tape that is 1 1/2". I iron it on to the bottom edge so that leaves the top for the seam allownce to be sewn in the corner of all my purses/handbags. I complete each edge of the lable with a double overedge stitch so the twill tape does not fray.

I finish each off eah item I create with a hanging tag below. The hanging tags were also created in word with the business card template. Once printed I punched the top and bottom edges with my eyelet paper punch. Now labels and tags (I list the price of my items on the back of the tag when I do craft fairs) matches for all my sewing projects.
