I so enjoyed making the first stained glass window quilt that I set out on another. This time I made the pattern up, having understood the theory from my first attempt. It proved a great way of using up lots of odd sized pockets.
A customer who visited me at the Milton Keynes event was very keen on this as I described it, and came to the World of Difference fair in Northampton specifically to pick it up.
This blog shows my recycled denim creations, along with tutorials for items I have designed myself. I collect old jeans (a strange collection, I know!) and cut them up to make bags, purses, animals and other items of varying sizes and shapes. I then sell these to raise money for weomen and children in the town of Utange, near Mombasa, in Kenya. I help women to set up their own businesses and am supporting the building of a new school for disabled children.

Baby play mat
This was a delight to make. The embroidery has been done over quite a long period, using some designs I purchased online. I finally got round to putting them all together. I think this would be so useful for a mum with a small child - one who is not yet crawling. The denim is beautifully soft from wear, but the mat will be easily washed if it gets dirty.
I have two more sets of squares to complete - they are pieced into quilts and just need backing - but I am hanging on for completion until I sell this one!
