LATE MARCH UPDATE

Late March Update:

This has been a busy, busy month.  Many thanks to Baxter Auto Parts in Pendleton for being a second drop location for us in Pendleton! 

Thanks to our friend Diane in Salem for her donation, even when I'm away from home, I find someone with denim.  SO MUCH appreciated my friend. 

In between stomping out family fires and crisis' I've been working on some photos for a tab on this blog showing how the denim is processed.  Karon from Stitch and Chat Quilters in Ukiah has agreed to help me with photos of some of the items that are made from the jean remnant that is NOT used for the actual quilt top. 

It's a WIP  (Work In Progress)

FEBRUARY-MARCH 2017 UPDATE

What a great time I've been having the last month and a half... Sharing with folks about our efforts to keep Ruth in denim for her quilt tops!  We are succeeding!  YAY!  Thank you to Tyler at Baxter Auto Parts in Pendleton!  We now have a second drop location.  So many folks, when I start "thanking" always afraid I'll miss someone!  Sigh!   Tina, Jerry, Jessica and the folks who have dropped at both Rooster's and Archie's!   So much LOVE!

Had a wonderful, brief visit with Ruth today and she would like to thank everyone who has donated!  She is thankful for the response and took home part of the denim that I had ready to go for cutting.  I will continue the cutting and deliver the rest very soon! 

I am working on a tab that will show the processing of the denim, and how it is used.  Stay tuned for that literary gem :) 

Ever wonder what 150+ pair of jeans in a stack looks like?  Here is a peek!   The angle is a bit weird and I didn't quite get the entire scope of the size of the boxes... but it's a phone...sigh...
