I have a few finishes to share. It's been quiet here on the blog but life has been anything but quiet. Oh. Mylanta. In the midst of everything I managed to finish up yet another rag rug, which was a gift to my fabulous and lovely friend Tara. (there is a tutorial here, should you want to make one yourself...and I think you should. ;) )
Now it's your turn! Please link up your finishes and cheer each other on as we share our finishes! (Please remember to link to a specific post when you link up.)
Happy Friday to you!

ReplyDeletelove the rug, it looks so happy and scrappy! Have a wonderful time at the retreat!
ReplyDeleteThe trim looks great! How do you like your Juki? I am interested in possibly getting one, primarily because I need a better machine for free motion quilting. So I'm curious what your thoughts are on the machine. Thank you
ReplyDeleteAmanda, 'twas a great joy to meet you face to face last night at the trunk show at Mama Said Sew in Fort Collins (which was also a GREAT discovery)! Y'all are gonna have such an amazing time at the Scrap Management Workshop. Thank you for gracing Colorado with your delightful presence. Your relaxed, easy-going nature, genuine heart for relationship, and authentic joy in listening and sharing life prove the preciousness of your online presence. You are the real deal, and I consider it a great gift, honor and blessing to have met you! You make an impact for good, Amanda! Thank you for doing your part to bring people together and bring out the creativity God has put in each person as we become all we were made to be and do all we were made to do in adding value to this world!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your excellent book, and may all you put your hand to prosper in every good thing!

Love your rug! I don't have a project to share today,, but for sure will check out others.. Thank you and have a great weekend..
ReplyDeleteThose rag rugs are quite lovely!
ReplyDeleteI just finished re-reading your scrap organization chapter in Sunday Morning Quilts and I ended up using a shoe holder on the back of the door to hold everything. It worked perfectly. What a great idea, thanks!
When I learned to knit a couple of months ago, I thought, "Oh good, I can finally knit one of those selvage rag rugs." Scrap use priorities, right? :)
ReplyDeletehappy retreat! love the white trim, too!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on finishing up the painting!
ReplyDeleteThe white trim really updates the room. It looks so clean and modern.
ReplyDeleteI love the rag rug! I'm currently working on gathering enough scraps to make one, too. It's a great project!

Thank you for being you, Amanda! I hope you have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI loved your rug! I intend to do one with my scraps.

I'm never disappointed when I paint something WHITE! What a nice quilting space you have!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tutorial on the rug! I always wonder what to do with the final little pieces.
ReplyDeleteFirst - love the book but would love to win the V&Co copy for my sis. I think she would love it too.
Second - we are supposed to say (I think) we love your calves.

Thanks for sharing the finishes. I love the white trim. So spiffy and fresh!
ReplyDeleteVanessa said to say hello to you. Your book looks great!
ReplyDeleteI'm wishing I could have any chance of being your friend "Tara." Bummer! But I was sent here from Vanessa. So perhaps we can become fast friends soon enough. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteHello from V & Co... I love the rug!
ReplyDeleteLove that rug!
ReplyDeleteComing here from V & Co. I'm so glad to have found your blog again. I have your book on my wish list (it looks wonderful!), and I'm going to give your rag rug a try, but in crochet instead of knitting.
ReplyDeleteAlso coming from V& Co-- Your book looks fantastic and I've been looking for a scrap system that works for me. Colors is how my grandma did it but your system looks intense and amazing-- just my style!
ReplyDeleteComing from Vanessa's to say that I've been following you for a long time and I "love your awesomeness." :-)

I like the upgrade too :o) I'm taking a page from your book and planning to redecorate my girls room with a neutral on the walls. I'm going for grey with lime green and pink as the accents. Hope it works out as good as it looks in my head! :o)

That rug is awesome (Oh and Vanessa sent me to say YOU are just as awesome too)! I've always wanted to make a rag run using the crochet technique. I'll take a peek at yours though too. Either way I'm going to have to relearn that skill since I haven't done either since I was a young child.
ReplyDeleteStopping by to say Hello. Found you on V & Co. blog. What a happy find. Love your colorful style!
ReplyDeleteHi Amanda Jean, popping in to say that I love your awesomeness (I'm a long time follower & yes, you really are - awesome I mean!).

ok..I got so caught up on reading your blog, I had to come back in and leave a message...I LOVE LOVE the knit from scraps rug! I need to make a new one for my kitchen below my sink in varying room colours and for the bathrooms in the colours of. I am tired of buying them and just not being right! This I love, when I first saw it on V and C, I thought V made it! but here I came to leave you a message of how awesome you are (from V and C said: leave her a hello comment and that you love her awesomeness) and got caught up in just how awesome you really are! Love your inspiration! I can see this as the upgraded version of my grandma's rage 'braided' rugs and mats! Thank you!

ReplyDeleteashacpatel@gmail.com
What a sweet rug! I really must try it! And I too love white trim around my floors & walls. I'm in the process of doing the same...back breaking work but so worth it! Love your blog!
ReplyDeleteI am here from V & co., but come here often. You are high up on my bookmarks! You are awesome.
ReplyDeleteLoving the rag rug. So cheerful and happy and a great way to use up scraps!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, love the paint job. Excited to be following your blog now that V and Co. introduced it to me!
ReplyDeleteI'm here from V & Co., and I do love your awesomeness. :-) Cute rag rug.
ReplyDeleteI'm here from V & Co and lookin' around. Looks great! Signed up to follow your blog! I've been waiting for your book from the Library! I'm sure it will be worth paying for though!!
ReplyDeleteI am also visiting from V & Co and I think this is a great site! I am totally inspired by your super scrap happy quilt top! It is amazing!!! Makes me feel a bit better about saving all my tiny scraps too. :) And that mini quilt your friend sent you is simply stunning! Love it! Loving the awesomeness on your siteI! Thanks for sharing. :)
ReplyDeleteComing from V & Co. You're awesome! Great rag rug.
ReplyDeleteLove the rug. You are amazing
ReplyDeleteShawn
Beautiful rug! I too, am just starting to repaint all of our trim white!!
ReplyDeleteHooray for finishes! I just need to get a few done around here :)
ReplyDeleteLove the white trim! Amazing work.
ReplyDeleteLeaving some blog love. I've been a reader for awhile now and have made several things inspired by your work. Love that you use all your fabric- scraps and all and still make creative, colorful projects.
ReplyDeleteYour rug and your space look great. My daughter just mentioned that she wants to make a rag rug -- thanks for the link to the tutorial!
ReplyDeleteYikes! Now I want to sew so I can make some scraps, so I can knit rugs and make some of those storage bins from your book! I am a knitter, and in my mind's eye, I can see several of those baskets lined up on an old bookcase I have, with all kinds of sock yarn scraps filling the baskets. There just isn't enough time to do all this stuff.
ReplyDeleteBrenda.
