I have given quilts to people with so much love just to find out, they lost them or just gave it to there dogs. People just don't understand the time that goes into these quilts. Now im careful who i give them too. Love ❤️ your quilts.
You definitely have to find "quilt-worthy" friends and family members before gifting a quilt. Way too expensive and too much time and effort to give to the unappreciative!
Love to see men that quilt, and so sorry your first one was lost in that tragic story. You do want your quilts to be loved and used, but not forgotten about as if they didn't care for it. Great use of rectangles to make an interesting quilt. And different denim colors (go hit that thrift store!) Lucky for us, the popular trend is jeans in different colors. Happy quilting!
Beautiful "Brick Wall Blues". I was going to make a patch-work quilt in denim ... glad I saw this tutorial ... I think the 'Brick Wall Denim' will look much better. Thanks for the hint about the thrift shop! Now to start gathering (and buying) old bluejeans. Sorry about your brother ... been there ... I have siblings much like him.
That sounds awesome!! I have made a rug before also! I weaved them together and sewed around the edges, it turned out great, I just never got around to doing a video on it!
Don't forget to label your quilts... Put your own name (including last name, city and state) on it as "Created by". Then when your fool brother lost it, a good samaritan might actually try to find YOU and return it (after which, I'd keep it of course!). Thanks for sharing your idea, design, tips and techniques with us! :-)
I think every family have a Dumb & Dumber. My mother had made a piece quilt with fancy stitching on the border for each of my siblings and myself. My brother's girlfriend had twin girls and she thought it would be a good idea to tale scissors and cut the quilt in two for their beds. Brother dumbest didn't think anything of it but my mother almost had a heart attack.
That would have been the LAST quilt they ever got from me!! People just don't understand the blood, sweat and tears it takes to make a quilt!! Thanks for watching!!
I love your videos! You are a great teacher and are so easy to follow :) .... dumb and dumber ya snooze....ya lose! hahaha so sad they were disrespectful of all your hard work!
Omaha??? I was raised in south Omaha...graduated from South High....where 'near Omaha' do you live? Alas, I've been gone from there since 1970... oh, and i always enjoy your tutes. 👍
Aww, such a sad Dumb and Dumb Bitch story. You two weren't born. You both fought your way out the womb! Oh and we need to do lunch before too long, eh?
I hear what you're saying! This video was a few years ago and at the time I was MAD!! I mean all that work for nothing! And it's not like I said it behind their backs. They do watch the videos too.
I am watching under a 1$ quilt from a thrift shop. It was made with great care and skill. Now it's mine and I love it!
yapbird some people rescue puppies, I get a thrill rescuing thrift store quilts......✂️✂️😊😊
My children were given quilts from their great grandmother. They absolutely loved them, so I'm doing the same for my grandbabies.

Those people suck. I'd rather to get a quilt. Honestly it's the best present I could receive.
Yes, some people just dont know what they are getting.

Very nice. Thank you!
Im using 7.5" sqs adding jean strips when needed. Using pockets, waist band and fly.
Making a rug out of the welts is useful.
That sounds awesome!! I have made a rug before also! I weaved them together and sewed around the edges, it turned out great, I just never got around to doing a video on it!
I went to a nearby thrift shop and asked if they would sell me a bundle deal on blue jeans. I got a Huge bag of jeans for $3.00!!
WOW!! What a great deal! I need to start asking for deals! LOL

I have recently started to label my quilts. I just hope whoever found it appreciated it more than they did!
I cherish handmade items.
Like any gift you give once it is given unfortunately you no longer have control over it. That's life. You learn and never repeat the mistake.
So true! Thanks for watching
Aqui do Brasil aprendendo com VC
The situation with jean quilts is that they really do not need filler or much of a back side because they are heavy.
Very true. I usually like a sheet or something that will stay kind of cool for that reason! Thanks for watching!
Wow, small world. I was born in Cedar Rapids....

Scrappy Patch looks like one of the best jeans quilts I've seen. Am excited to see it all come together❣. Thanks for sharing! 👍🏻
I've used the welt as a rope in a bag by covering it with fabric
I never thought to do that! Thanks for the idea
I love your videos! You are a great teacher and are so easy to follow :) .... dumb and dumber ya snooze....ya lose! hahaha so sad they were disrespectful of all your hard work!
And as you can see I'm not following my own directions. This is a pretty dull blade. You kill me with that one !!!! 😂😂

Thank you! I actually live between Elkhorn and Gretna, by the Elkhorn River. I was raised in Iowa though Just moved here about 5 years ago.
Ames Iowa, hopefully Leslie Hall found it
well if she did I hope she loves it!! :-)
I also have a twin brother. I bet someone stole the quilt.
Ugh probably! Some people suck! LOL thanks for watching
Aww, such a sad Dumb and Dumb Bitch story. You two weren't born. You both fought your way out the womb! Oh and we need to do lunch before too long, eh?
LOL I was heart broken when they told me! And she said "Can't you just make another one?" Well yeah I could, but not for you!! Lunch would be GREAT!!
I sent home made napkins to my brother and sister in law and they never even acknowledged it 🙄
Guess someones off the hand made gift list! LOL
who ever got that quilt was really lucky but dumping on a family member on you tube so sad for you .bad manners
I hear what you're saying! This video was a few years ago and at the time I was MAD!! I mean all that work for nothing! And it's not like I said it behind their backs. They do watch the videos too.
