Whether you sew or not, you'll want to participate in a design class to make an amazing wall hanging or bed quilt out of denim jeans.  You know what you like when you see it, so why not plan and design your own creation and either sew it up yourself or enlist a seamstress to complete!  The design possibilities are endless!

CREATE A RECYCLED DENIM JEANS QUILT

 Introduction

Take those old jeans, and past clothing favorites (or regrets) from your own or your children’s closets and sew them up into an amazing wall hanging or bed quilt!  This introductory session will show how to preserve memories through the fiber artistry available in your own clothes closet and honor the earth by recycling at the same time.  The result is a tangible keepsake quilt to hang on the wall or cover the bed.  This session will explore easy and nontraditional methods for assembling materials, designing the story to be told, and sewing the quilt together.  Several examples of fun and exciting ideas will be available to inspire you.  Bring your own ideas and materials for the project with you to this introductory session, although doing so is not a requirement.
