Jean Quilts

My parents came in this weekend and my Mom brought the boys these amazing quilts that she made them. They are made out of old jeans. Jeans that used to be mine, my sisters, and my dads.

The boys were very excited to get something with their names on it. The quilts even have jean pockets on them.

The back of the quilt is red with a cute baseball print in the center.

What a great gift from grandma. Thanks Mom!

And I just had to show off this super cute apron I received as a Mother's Day Gift. It is from Anthropology and has ruffles and a pocket. Love it.

Grandma's Quilt

This quilt was made for Grandma E. It is the first quilt I made for someone else. It was made using a Moda charm pack entitled Aviary by 3 Sisters. The boarder, binding, and backing were purchased at Joann's. The pattern was from the Moda Bakeshop called Clara's Quilt by Angie Davy http://http://www.modabakeshop.com/2009/05/claras-quilt.html. This was the first time that I stippled a quilt. The pictures did not come out that well but you can see I used a free hand pattern similar to the puzzle pattern. I really enjoy making this and loved how the stippling came out. The quilt has such an antique feel and look to it. I loved running my hands over the quilt feeling the waves from the stippling.

I used an iron on quilt label that I hand colored with fabric markers.

I finished this quilt last month but had to wait to post about it until I presented it to Grandma E. She was delighted with it. I am very proud of this quilt. It was a great first quilt to give away. And check out those mitered corners on the binding!
