Handmade Rag Quilts make the best gifts {High Boltage Quilting Review}

This post is brought to you by High Boltage Quilting.

Good morning! Recently I was contacted by Michelle from High Boltage Quilting about receiving one of her beautiful rag quilts. Michelle and her mom have made over 100+ handmade rag quilts that they have given away to friends, family members, coworkers and medical personnel. Now they have turned this wonderful hobby into a wonderful shop and are now offering their beautiful handmade rag quilts to everyone.

If you are not sure exactly what a rag quilt is, rag quilts are quilts that have exposed seams that fray when washed. This makes a rag quilt a very cozy quilt that's perfect to curl up in on the couch, lay on the ground outside in the sun or as a throw on in your bedroom. These quilts also make great gifts for new babies, weddings, or as gifts for the upcoming holidays. Let me tell you more about these beautiful quilts! (Just FYI, my daughter is in town this month, and I snagged my two grandsons for this cute rag quilt photo shoot!) :)

I love the holiday season! One way our family spreads love & holiday cheer is by making handmade gifts for our neighbors & friends. Let me show you how easy this Hot Cocoa Neighbor Gift Idea was to put together with a little help from American Greetings.

American Greeting is having fun this holiday season. They are making it easy for people to "Elf" their friends, neighbors, coworkers, favorite teachers & family. You may wonder what “Elfing” is! Well, let me tell you. ;) It’s creating a small gift using a festive bag or small basket filling it with M&M’s or other holiday treats, an American Greetings card or even this hot cocoa gift jar, & then leaving the gift on a neighbor's porch or on a teacher’s desk with a cute printable. You can print out this cute “You’ve Been Elfed” tag right {HERE}! You can also find a poem to go along with it & an “I’ve Been Elfed” hang tag to hang on their door, too.

Snowman Soup neighbor gift {with free printable}

I’m not sure who originally came up with the idea of Snowman Soup, but whoever did was a genius!  It makes the perfect neighbor gift when the weather outside is frightful. ;) It is also super easy {& affordable} to put together!

We have made these before, & this year we doing them again! The kiddos helped me put them together today. {Really hoping none of our neighbors read my blog! ha!} ;)

To make these you’ll need:

• brown paper lunch sacks
• ribbon
• hot chocolate packets
• candy canes
• Hershey Kisses
• mini marshmallows
• Snowman Soup printable {download below}
  

First we put the marshmallows in quart size ziploc bags. Then we put those & everything else inside the paper lunch sack.

Then we just folded the bag over.  Punch two holes and attach the poem with a ribbon.

Now we are all ready for our Christmas Eve deliveries!
