I made the cushions as presents for my friends - for me it was experimenting with fabric, style, design.








As you can see I love to work with Jeans - I started collecting Jeans from my friends and family and have now a huge depot of Jeans, waiting to be cut up and sewed into something new.

One of my quilt guild friends (she is a very talented and creative artist) made this out of Jeans and appliqued one of my mug rugs, calling it "Upcycled" - I think it´s fantastic !
