    Love that embroidered dog.

    I am saving/collecting old jeans to make dog beds...I have several family members in line for them (their dogs, not them).

    Cute. I would likely only have the back of any overall as when they are ready for the rag bag, the fronts are really ratty and mended many times. :-)

    Ladies,

    Operation Quiet Comfort needs people to make their denim quilts for our Wounded.

    Check them out at : www.operationquietcomfort.com

    I have made and donated over 40 of the Four Freedoms Gratitude Quilts.

    here is a picture of one of the aprons I have made out of bib overalls. The neat thing is you get two aprons from one overall. I like to giddy them up with lots of left over bit and pieces.
    that is just wonderful! Did you make a pattern for it?
