Blue Jean Quilts

Wonder what to do with all of those old blue jeans?

Why not make a quilt?

Cut the jeans in to equal size squares, then stitch

them together.

Add some batting and two yards of material for

the backing.

Viola! You have a quilt!

Need some new pot holders?

Cut out some blue jean back pockets, sew on

a back, and  use a belt loop to hang it up.

Mine say, "Candy's Country Kitchen"

written in black permenant marker.

Hey, these make great Christmas gifts, too!

Hi Candy,

My name is Hannah, I'm 17, and I just started a blog tonight with my sisters. I saw you have 11 children. That is awesome! I'm the third in a family of eight. Big families are totally cool!!!

What a great idea with the jeans. I love the potholder idea. When the kids were little, and asked if we were going out to eat I would say yep, your going to Candy's Country Kitchen!
