You have been very busy recycling and quilting. Kudos to you.
Neat tie quilt. Not sure how you would quilt it, but I'm sure someone will have a good idea.

I have 15 legs of jeans that are cut, washed and ready to sew. Found them awhile back and thought about a quilt for some guys in my life - 1 older nephew and 3 grandsons, 13, 4. and 5. Love the idea of little stockings and purses. have thought about making a rain fence quilt, due to variations in jean colors. Saw a cathedral window quilt, but, that is froo-froo for guys I think, and would not hold up as well.

Anyone read the big scandal going on in Denver with our Gov.? Gov Ritter.

You are so crafty and look at all the blue jeans, neck ties, etc. that you've saved for another day. Enjoyed the pics.

You do have me on your list for Christmas socks next year, correct? <wave> I have your notice bookmarked on my board list, and it is so nice to have you mention it from time to time ... Good job!

The jumper pattern I used if from Junk-Jeans Recycled by Luveta Nickels. She has a lot of pattern books. I've met her several times at sewing expos. She is a neat person and has a passion for recyeling jeans.
