I haven't posted in a few days, and since it is the end of the school year and I'm a teacher, I thought I'd talk about a quilt I made a few years ago. This quilt is a recycle project of old jeans. My family actually wore these jeans! I appliquéd the lady bugs onto the jeans and pieced them together. (This is by no way a perfect quilt. It was an earlier quilt.) this was one of my first stipple quilts. I'm still learning about this technique. Anyway, let me know what you think.
I think its very very cute!
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing! I'm completely overwhelmed by the idea of quilting, just working with a massive piece of fabric is enoug to scare me! I'd love to try it one day but I'm not sure I'd have the patience to finish...
ReplyDeleteLovely! I recycle jeans to make bags for a charity I support. It's a lovely material to work with, and great if the jeans in your quilt all belonged to your family. Did you add any batting to the quilt? I have a denim quilt in progress and haven't yet decided if I am going to use batting.
ReplyDeleteI'm a teacher too, but in the UK. We still have seven weeks or so till the end of the school year...
