quiltee	Posted - Apr 24 2017 : 3:13:22 PM How do you use men's ties in projects? I have pieces of ties left over from a bow tie quilt I made from them years ago. I also have made some flower pins from complete ties. I'll try to post a picture. This is a similar pattern: http://www.asg.org/scr/blog/2012/08/guys-tie-becomes-girls-rose/ Here is a Pinterest link to several uses and projects for men's ties. https://www.pinterest.com/search/pins/?rs=ac&len=2&q=mens%20ties%20repurposed&eq=mens%27%20ties&etslf=6835&term_meta[]=mens%7Cautocomplete%7Cundefined&term_meta[]=ties%7Cautocomplete%7Cundefined&term_meta[]=repurposed%7Cautocomplete%7Cundefined I've thought about making a skirt from them. Let's see what you make from men's ties.

texdane	Posted - May 11 2017 : 09:30:42 AM Those roses are adorable! I have also seen them used to weave a new seat and back for the old folding metal lawn chairs. Curious to see what you come up with, Linda. You are so talented!

NAGarcia	Posted - May 04 2017 : 5:27:52 PM My daughter grabbed all my dad's ties when he passed and made a skirt out of them. We embroidered his name and dates on the white one, then she wore it at her HS graduation. 2 years later, she loaned it to her sister to also wear at graduation. Next year, the youngest is going to borrow it. Natalie Farmgirl Sister #7004 May 2016 ^^ We are the weirdos, mister. ^^
buzzn bee	Posted - Apr 29 2017 : 5:58:47 PM Linda you need to do a video to teach all of us how to make your tie roses. They are absolutely stunning! I agree with Grace, they would look beautiful on a coat or hat. Hugs and Giggles! Deborah H Buzzn Bee
quiltee	Posted - Apr 27 2017 : 2:55:44 PM Yes, an entire tie; do not have to remove lining.

quiltee	Posted - Apr 27 2017 : 08:04:34 AM Thanks! I have a few more men's ties and may try more of these. They really are better if you use bright coolorful ties.

quiltee	Posted - Apr 27 2017 : 07:56:23 AM Here are some of the tie "roses" I made. I still want to add felt leaves or some other embellishment.

quiltee	Posted - Apr 27 2017 : 07:52:00 AM That is so nice, Deborah. I'm sure they loved getting them as a remembrance.

buzzn bee	Posted - Apr 26 2017 : 04:23:22 AM These are some Angels I made for the family of my church Pastor who passed away suddenly from a heart attack. These angels were made from some of his ties. His wife passed them out to family members Christmas Eve to hang on their family Christmas trees. A really nice way for me to remember our Pastor and his special family.
Red Tractor Girl	Posted - Apr 25 2017 : 2:54:18 PM I have never tried a project with men's ties but I would love to see photos of anyone here who has. Let the fun sharing begin! Winnie #3109 Red Tractor Girl Farm Sister of the Year 2014-2015
sargesproudwife	Posted - Apr 25 2017 : 1:11:04 PM Skirts made from old ties? I have to see how that is done! There are so many ideas out there. I love pinterest! Christine, Sister #7295 www.theginghambow.etsy.com www.theginghambow.wordpress.com
MaryJanesNiece	Posted - Apr 25 2017 : 12:39:10 PM Oh wow! There are so many ideas. My favorites are the skirts and headbands made from old ties. Combining the different tie patterns turns out really nice. My husband only has two ties, so he won't be of much help. I'll have to ask some family members. Krista
sargesproudwife	Posted - Apr 25 2017 : 07:28:04 AM Looks awesome! Christine, Sister #7295 www.theginghambow.etsy.com www.theginghambow.wordpress.com

quiltee	Posted - Apr 25 2017 : 05:53:28 AM LOL! Always up for a challenge, eh? Yes, so so many things to be made - and how many of our husbands or boyfriends have ties they don't wear? Recycle - that's the key nowadays, isn't it?

suny58	Posted - Apr 25 2017 : 05:28:44 AM Is this a 'challenge' Linda? lol.... I saw SO MANY ADORABLE items to create out of mens ties!!! I had no idea! :0 Farmgirl #7703 Dianna "Blessed are they that see beautiful things in humble places, where other people see nothing." Pissarro
