Now I Remember



O.k. so now I remember why I set this project aside, I really hate hand sewing through denim!! I broke 3 needles doing the buttonhole stitching on these leaves. I think that I had originally planned to do an applique block or two per row but now I'm thinking not. However I may add 2 or 3 more to the whole quilt, yeah I know sucker for abuse ;) Well of to go do a couple more rows below are some close ups if anyone is interested in the buttonhole stitching.

A long Forgotten Project



So while cleaning this morning I came across this long forgotten quilt. I have no idea of when I started it, maybe 4-5 years ago. However all of the pieces are here ( I think) so I guess it's time to finish it off. I think i will make it into a picnic blanket for next Spring/Summer. The blocks are made out of old jeans and the pink fabric is some sort of flannel stuff that a lady that works at the local thrift store gave me.
