Making Jean Quilts

I told Tim's mom that I had a buch of Jeans I had been saving for 5 - 15 years to make a quilt but I didn't know how to cut out the jeans. (Some of the jeans were from my elementary and Jr. High years. But a few squares are from Jeans that Tim and I were both wearing the day we met. So it is a Family Jean Quilt with lots of memories in it.) She was so sweet and said she would help me. How AWESOME!!! We spent all day on Monday making the quilts while The guys and kids went to the gold mine in Daloghea. We really enjoyed the quiet house.

I have two sewing machines that were not sewing right and she fixed them! She is so AWESOME!!! Now I have two working machines. We got two LARGE quilts cut out and sewn together and one small one for the baby. We might have had another large one accept she couldn't cut a few of the the jeans beacause she said they were too nice and she took them home. Oh well....it's the price to pay to have her help. Allthough, I would have really liked that 3rd quilt to be larger. Anyway, she was such great help. All I need to do is find fabric to put on the back of the quilts and sew it on. I am so excited!

Here are pics....

As you can tell from some of these jean squares, alot of these are from the 80's...
