I sewed my first rag quilt with this Houndstooth Rag Quilt pattern by Bobbie at A Vision To Remember. She has patterns, fabric, and ready-made items for sale in her etsy shop - the perfect place to pick up your own supplies for this project. In fact, all the fabric I used for this rag quilt was sent to me by Bobbie, along with a free copy of the pattern when she kindly asked me to participate in this tour. Below I'll share how long it took, supplies I found helpful, why this pattern doesn't require as much cutting of pieces as I feared, and more photos! Be sure to use the schedule at the end of the post to visit the other blogger's sharing their rag quilts this week.

"There Was That Year" - Minimalist Improv Quilt Mini for Mighty Lucky Quilting Club February Challenge
I completed my first improv quilt and it holds special meaning for me. I've titled it "There Was That Year." I was inspired to create a memory quilt after reading the Colette Book Club selection for January (read more about that here). I didn't really feel drawn to the type of quilt created in the book, so I decided to use the February Challenge for Mighty Lucky Quilting Club from Lucky Spool as my opportunity to try some improvisational quilting and create the memory quilt. Although I have plenty to learn about quilting and improv, I am really happy with what came together. Keep reading to find out more about the Mighty Lucky Quilting Club and the significance (to me) of this piece, and at the end I've embed a video with further explanation.

I don't just sew!
Welcome!
It's not just my hobby... my whole life is Sew Not Perfect - but lovely none-the-less. I am learning to enjoy the mess that is my sewing space, the craziness that is our busy home and homeschool, and to roll with the things that don't go the way I plan. I'm so glad you came by and I hope you'll visit often.
