First, This & That:
So much crammed into one month. Are your weekends busy, too? LOL . . . We are all so very proud of our son-in-law on his recent graduation. I marvel at those who balance their lives with work, raising a family, keeping house, the reserves AND complete university.
We celebrated our daughter’s and sister’s birthdays at a fav Mexican restaurant. The waiters presented my sister with a flan dessert and my daughter a shot of tequila. 🙂 #agediscrimination?

On a recent Saturday, I tagged along to a modern quilt club meeting with friends. Some amazing quilts were collected for the ALS Foundation. Very cool . . .
And now, on to the Upcycled Jean Quilt:
I’m stoked. I just completed my second quilt; a lap quilt for my grandson. Keeping to a simple pattern, I reused old jeans and added patriotic fabrics. I wanted to make a “boy” quilt for him to use on a cold winter evening while snuggling on the sofa.
I’m still in the learning phase. Made plenty of mistakes.
I learned that all jeans are not created equal; especially stretch denim. 😉 Who knew?
I am fascinated by modern quilts. Getting ready to start my third quilt project. 🙂
Have a good week! – – Joanne
