Why Do We Say "Pair Of Jeans"?

Is it because there is two legs?

And if so why don't we say "Pair of Sweater"?

It does have two arms!

OK--this is the stuff I ponder when quilting.

I am so... thankful for audible books.

So I had the privilege of having Sandra's 

"Pair Of Jeans Quilt" on my frame!

Sandra made this quilt using the jeans

 from her grandsons collection.

 This quilt will be going off with him

to college this fall.

She didn't want batting but choose a great flannel

 for the back. I did a all-over meander for the quilting.

I am sure he will be nice and warm while studying to

become a Dentist.

Till We Quilt Again

And Thank You From a Proud Aunt,

Eleanor's Gift!

I would like to introduce you to, 

Eleanor!

 This is a quilt that she made for her

mother's Birthday!

The color selection was Perfect,

 as is all of her quilts.

She has a gift of color selection.

 She choose to have the quilting in a

Vine/Heart swirl.

 Which went so... well with the

 beautiful flower material.

Eleanor lights up a room with her

Warm & Loving Personality!

And that is exactly how I would describe

 this piece she made for her mother!

"Warm & Loving"

Till We Quilt Again,

A Bit Twisted!

At our guilds Christmas meeting we brought

1 yard of our ugliest fabric.

Later we stood in a circle with a scissor

 and a random yard of fabric.

When the music began, we passed the

fabric till the music stopped.

 Then snipped and tore the fabric in half.

Keeping one half and passed the other half on,

 when the music began again.

Every time we kept half and the

other half was passed on.

Till we were down to a small piece.

We all ended up with 7 pieces.

Here is mine.

This became our Guild's Challenge Project.

The requirement was that it could not be any

 larger than a 8 1/2 x 11 inch piece of paper.

 And three of the fabrics were to be used.

Plus you could add fabric as well.

We were to bring it completed to the May's

 meeting and a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place

 was to be awarded.

 Then all the pieces would be displayed at a local

Historical Society event dedicated to quilting

 in June.

So here is my Twisted Piece.

Photo not so clear!

The rust color is on the back and I used only the challenge fabric.

I did not place in any of the Top 3 Picks.   

But I always Love a Challenge!

The theme was

"What Makes You Happy"

For me that is trying something new.

I have seen this technique and

it can be stunning.

However, I will need to practice this 

more before I can use

 the word Stunning on mine!

 If you want a great tutorial on a

 Twisted Piece visit
