Hmmm..

So I am a "Jack of all trades" and truly a master of none.  I am an admitted Pintrest junkie.  I found a "rag" rug Photo of course no tutorial.  The real issue with that site.  Well, it looked simple.  And honestly it is in theory.  Take strips of scraps, weave and sew.  HA.

I've got the strips of fabric NO problem.  (okay I have a fabric problem, but that is a different story)

Step two.. Easy Peasy..  Just weave.

Step three, well here is where the kick in the pants comes.  The sewing.  HA.. it should read the attempt to sew this together.

A quilters trick is to tape down the fabric to help hold it in place.  Pins start to become a problem for many reasons.  But the two that jump out at me are they poke, and that many get caught on the presser foot.  Even with the tape it bunches, and is impossible to keep lined up, let alone straight.

The photo looks better than the product.. All the game room furniture went to the lake house so this room is empty.  I need a cheap table and chairs to make this "my" craft room.  (that may get me in trouble.... oh the things I could do without picking up every night.)

I get "helpers" everywhere I go.

If I decide to finish this project I am going to sew the tops to liner to keep them in place.  Now I don't like where this is going so I am not sure.  I'll post if I finish.

The reason for all the strips.  Honest I do finish most of my projects.  Crayon Box Quilts.  (well the toppers)  I have five of these done.  I need to find a machine quilter in the area.  I had a great woman in Kansas.  I have not found anyone in Texas yet.  I would LOVE love LOVE to have a machine.  That is a whole other post.  

Happy Stitching..
