My quilting challenge!

I have decided to make a quilt for our bed this year.
This is quite an undertaking for me as I do not really have the patience to cut out pieces of fabric,rearrange them and sew them back together;then add batting and backing and binding!Whew!
Why this is so tedious for me when I can crochet or knit for hours on end without getting bored or frustrated,I do not know!I could knit or crochet a bedspread no problem!
I am making a quilt instead because I have 3 cats and my beautiful Bates bedspread(if you are from Maine you know what a Bates is!) is much the worse from wear due to their claws.
I really admire quilters and hope anyone out there who quilts will offer advice as I undertake this new venture!
Pics will soon follow!

G;ammed up bluejeans bags!

Upcycled bluejeans bags that I have '"glammed up" with ribbons,studs and flowers.

Not your ordinary bluejeans and not your ordinary bluejeans bags!

I love to recycle and recraft;but I thought my bags were kind of boring before.Now they are unique and pretty,I think.Don't you?!
