Um...yea, remember me?

Ok, so I haven't posted in a while - alright, a few MONTHS!! I've just been really busy and its been hard to try and find the time to commit to this. This whole blog is basically journaling and even when I was younger I couldn't keep up with one. There is alot I still I want to accomplish with this blog and I'm not giving that up. I have the most time here at work and my previous computer really wasn't up to par to posting pics, it froze up everytime I tried to download one. I have a new computer so maybe now it won't feel like such a chore. Maybe this new computer will make it fun! My computer at home could definately keep up but when I am at home, I get caught up with other things to do. So, to catch up with the last blog about quilting those 6in blue jean squares I cut in the summer (no I haven't put those together yet but hopefully posting them will be my motivation to put them together), I give you these photos of how they came out...

Here are 8 pairs of blue jeans:

Here are the 124 6in squares I pain stakingly rotary cutted on my living room floor:

Doesn't seem like a big deal, but boy did it take some time to do! I also bought some really pretty flannel to back it. Those 124 are already cut. I guess I could have taken a picture of that to put up but, hey, there's tomorrows post!

Quilting...on a Sunday afternoon

So, Sunday, I decided to do something with the huge stack of un-wearable, un-usable jeans I had in the 3rd bedroom. I have at least 30 pairs that I have been saving to do something crafty with. Mom gave me a really good idea to make a blue jean quilt out of them. Seems pretty easy. Just a bunch of squares and sewing straight lines. Has to be easy for any beginner. I borrowed her rotary blade, cutting mat and 6" square template and got to cutting. I sat on the floor of the living room so I could cut them up while I watched TV. Got some good movies in but when it was all said and done, I cut 124 6" squares. One hundred. Twenty four. Squares. Believe it or not, I am SO sore today! I guess it was the whole sitting on the floor using cutting muscles I haven't in a long time. Its all over sore! Who knew quilting was a full contact hobby. I bet moma is really in shape. I'll post pictures at a later date. There wasn't enough light to take any when I was finished cutting those 124 squares. Did I mention I cut 124 6" squares?
