It is so heavy I didn't think I would never get it tied. It was to big for me to quilt it on my machine so I tied it with heavy cotton yarn. It is all 4 1/2"x4 1/2" squares with a fannel back.crafter1953https://www.blogger.com/profile/00290980404503111832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767368008487835849.post-50939892590472451692011-09-27T23:02:40.320-04:002011-09-27T23:02:40.320-04:00I have made some denim rag rugs and some denim qui...I have made some denim rag rugs and some denim quilts that I have really liked how they turned out.

I (half) made a rag rug with denim strips, it was SO VERY heavy and of course I made it far too big ( like 6' x 4') to manhandle it easily on my lap to work on it. And I started at the edges instead of the centre, so by the time I got to the middle area, it was hard to get at it! I passed it on to another brave soul who I hope did manage to finish it lol However I have promised msyelf to make another, smaller version - and I will!liniecathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15643986273499722414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767368008487835849.post-75868386803828249342011-09-27T15:36:17.906-04:002011-09-27T15:36:17.906-04:00I'm from Iowa, farm country, so denim is every...I'm from Iowa, farm country, so denim is everywhere.

In November, I'm starting a handwork club for grade 6-8 students. We're going to start with "Upcycle Your Worn, Torn Denim" and let the kids get creative. To get the group project kick-started, I'm going to provide some samples of jewelry, bags, who-knows-what-else? At home, I think I'll start feeding the boys more bean sprouts in the hopes that they sprout faster and outgrow a couple more pairs jeans... soon!Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16768067832220786375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767368008487835849.post-88115191023611884462011-09-27T09:29:13.241-04:002011-09-27T09:29:13.241-04:00Like many sewers/crafters, I see everything as a p...Like many sewers/crafters, I see everything as a possible Future Project.
