Jeans Quilts

Posted on October 30, 2011 by Sharon Camp

Gained a few pounds? Your blue jeans don’t fit? Don’t worry I told my teaching staff. I have just the solution. Diet pills were not the answer, nor were any of those plans to lose weight by eating this food or that. Going to the gym and exercise are great but not on my list. I had a seat on my couch with my favorite sharp pair of sheers and all their old pair of jeans that no long fit. I was making a jeans quilt for a friend. Continue reading →

It may be in the middle of the night or on the way to the grocery store, I can get an idea for my baby quilts sometimes in the most unusual places.
I live in South Florida with a lake in my back yard. It is not uncommon to have the most unusual wild life in and around the water.

He or she posed long enough for me to take this photo. How appropriate, a stork came by, as I am looking for ideas for baby quilts!
