Recycling!

I feel like I did some major recycling with my last project. I had a bunch of denim squares that I had cut from old jeans.  I also had a flannel sheet that was in good shape, just had shrunk so much it didn't fit well on the bed.  So I cut it up and I made some rugs.

Two of these have been made in this size and I want to make one more that is bigger.  And I still have lots of squares left.  It is essentially a rag quilt but instead of clipping the seams, I stitched them down.

I had made these originally when our dog wasn't able to jump up onto the bed.  She wouldn't sleep in a dog bed but would stretch out on the floor.  She did like to be on the quilt, especially in the winter, so I made a couple for her.  After she died, I started using them as rugs and I really liked them.  They wash up so easily and I didn't pay an arm and a leg for a washable rug.  I have a navy top sheet that I may cut up and add to the toile sheet.  

Another Finish

 I'm on a roll, another finish!  My September Dirty Dozen is completed!  WooHoo!

I did this cross stitch 47 years ago.  Oh. My. Goodness!  That's old!  I never got it framed as I always thought I would make it into a pillow.  It's taken me a long time, but it's done!

A Finish

 I have a finish!  I had this top made and it has been hanging around waiting for me to get a backing for it.  I finally found something I liked.  It's all quilted in a cute daisy design.  The fabric is cow themed and the daisy design made me think of Ferdinand the Bull. 

Dirty Dozen

 Did you see the new Dirty Dozen number was drawn?  Number 6.  My number 6 is a little wool Christmas ornament.  I'm hoping it doesn't take too long to make.  

AND, I still need to finish up my September project.  I haven't forgotten, I've just been busy with Celtic Solstice.  I was trying to finish it up for my challenge with a group of friends.  I did get the top done.  I guess next year's challenge should be creating a backing and getting it quilted.  Although, I'd like to have it done before that time.
