 :Wow: that is pretty Christy! I am not ready to attempt that yet Christy but am enjoying getting everything ready to put together :ThumbUp:

Yeah didn't even thing of pictures when I was putting it out for pattern Triss!!  :Halo: I was more worried about hurrying up so that the boys would not come running through and wreck everything!!  :Whis:

Good luck on getting your machine fixed up Triss! I don't think I could attempt it by hand denim is just too thick.. do you have a Jeans Needle your using? :unsure:

Christy, that is so beautiful!  Love it!

I am just using a needle I grabbed outta my sewing box.  The basting part was not too bad but I tried backstitching with it and everything is all crooked.  I will be stopping by MIL's this weekend to get my machine.

Excellent idea, Rita!! I am so gonna have to get motivated to do one.....I am no good at sewing anymore- I used to do it all the time, but not I can't even get myself motivated to get started. I used to make clothes and everything.

That is so awesome Rita, you sure did a good job of it!!!  I cannot wait to see how that looks cuz I have not seen one done with the jean side being the one with the seams.

Thanks... I think it will turn out good.. A great little throw and it is not too "girly" to give to a guy!  :ThumbUp:

No they are perfect for guys too.  Dan uses the one my mom made for me all the time.

Oh that is a great idea!  Of course using a leg means less squares for a quilt.

 :dunno: True but I have more than enough pants (they are free even if the bottoms have the slightest bit of wear) so I just thought it would be a more complete thought.

I like the idea for storage and gift giving!  A very nice gift for sure.

All of that sounds good Rita... On my wish list is one of those machines that will do embroidery designs.  Then I can put pics for the kids on the squares of material, or their names... I think that would be so much fun so I am asking for one for my Christmas/Birthday present.

I am gonna get my machine tomorrow and find the part I need to get it fixed.  And a table so I can set it up in the bedroom.

 :rofl1: I use my coffee table! It is a crazy set up!!  :rofl1:
you don't remember which part ya need?  :dunno: My grandfather used to fix all mine up all the time when he was alive.. but he taught me a lot about how to keep my machine up.
I used to have one of those Triss.. Fun but a pain all at the same time (at least for me) I just never had time to practice and get it right!

Do you mean a computerized machine, Triss? Those are awesome. I want one. The prices are coming down some on them too. They used to be an arm and a leg. Now they are just a leg.
