Recycling Jeans

I made another quilt to use outside either on the hammock...


...or on the loveseat.


It also looks very nice on the loveseat on the porch since the quilt has similar colors as the cushions.


My mock cathedral window quilt is made with used jeans, leftover fabrics from my mom, and leftover batting from other quilt projects. I used my Singer 224 for all the decorative stitching, Singer 201 for piecing, and Davis NVF for attaching the binding.  Fun quilt to make! And very heavy!!

The Great Outdoors



I finished the binding this morning while trying to stay cool under the ceiling fan above my "command center".  While finishing the quilt, the temp was already 90. Today's temperature will be around 102.


Not a great day to relax on hammock under a quilt, but tomorrow will be much cooler...at least I hope so.  My hammock quilt has two looks, a garden look and a camping look. Now, I need to find an interesting book to read while relaxing on the hammock.
