This is the Texture of Life quilt I made for my neice Cathryn. Her mom has been saving her clothes since she was born. Cathryn is now a wonderful young 17 year old woman. This quilt is made from all her jeans from the age of one to probably 12. I think we all could say our jeans make up the majority of clothing that we wear in our lifetime. It was so much fun making this for Cathryn and to see her face when she opened her 2017 Christmas gift.
The above is the clothes line of Cathryns clothes used in her quilt.
Below is the stages of my mind as I created her quilt.

| The Pallet of clothing |
 |
| Pockets waiting for there place on the quilt |
 |
| Buttons and Labels are in the background, along with a drawing |
 |
| Wondering where these will end up. |
 |
wondering what I should use for the background
|
 |
I always embroider the name of the quilt on the back
And below is Cathryn being surprised by her 2017 Christmas Gift.
It always bring joy to my heart to see the smile on her face. So much love sits amongst the stitches. |
