This is another post admiring someone else's creations: my Moms! I love quilts. I grew up with a lot of them, my parents have so many that people have made them for their wedding, or when they had kids or just gifts. They are awesome because they are big, they have fun patterns, they are cozy, and they make great beach and picnic blankets! I feel like quilting is growing less popular it makes me sad.. But not for my Mom, she is the Quilting Queen! has been collecting our old jeans for at least 10 years because each time one of my siblings have gotten married she makes them a denim quilt! The couple gets to pick out the fabric for the other side and they really are a treasure. My Mom has made four for my siblings and I as well as for some of our family friends! She's awesome.
I recently got married so it was finally my turn to get one! My mom has made a lot of these but that doesn't mean it doesn't take her a super long time. She puts in a lot of work and does it all by herself thats what makes it so special.
This is our blanket!
Seriously how cute is that?
This is the fabric I chose for the bottom and I love how it turned out!
These are a few of my pockets from my old favorite jeans. It adds such a fun personal touch.
Ty didn't have any old jeans to contribute.. He cleans out his closet weird right? ;) I'm so bad at getting rid of old clothes haha
Gotta love the big white stitching haha
Ty took me out on a picnic for my Birthday last week and we got to use it :)
We love it. Thanks Mom!!!!
