It sort of looks like these. I glued on small pearls and rustic type twine and snowflake gems for a topper.

My photography skills are simply not good enough to adequately showcase this stunning wallhanging I received from Wanda Sue. It is breath takingly magnificent and I am in awe of its beauty. Is this your own design Wanda, or do you have patterns for making the feathers? If you have better photographs of it please post them.
Thank you so very much Wanda. I have had a couple of really disappointing days, and your gorgeous gift has really been a bright light in the darkness.
Farmgirl hugs,
jean

Thank you Jean, I’m glad they brightened your day. I found the idea on Pinterest and have wanted to try it for some time. Through trial and error I finally got enough to make the hanging. I probably made a total of twenty, and yes Dianna, once you get the hang of it they are so much fun to make, and addictive! I love how you get the different colors depending on how you pull the threads with the grain or across the grain. Your picture is good Jean but I will add mine also since it’s a little closer and you can see more detail. I used bakers twine for the centers and the seam from the leg for the hanger. Oh and the stick is from a cedar tree in my backyard.

Wanda -
I've seen those on Pinterest and have wanted to try them using some of the smaller pieces of denim scraps. These are beautiful! and a great wallhanging.
That's a wonderful gift, Jean. It will look nice with a little wind from a fan.
Hmmmm - now I really want to try them. LOL!
ENJOY!

That is a great tree, Vanessa. I also saw that on Pinterest. I like and hate going to Pinterest - at the same time. LOL! I get stuck there and my mind gets filled up with all the projects I want to do.
I'm so glad we can share our talents with our farm sisters.

Vanessa I love the trees also. That is another one of my "to do's" on my denim list that I hope to make with all of the scraps I have.

Dianna and Grace - Have you both received your Recycled Denim swaps yet? Please post pictures when they arrive.
As soon as you both receive them, I will post the 2nd Recycled Denim Swap so you can sign up for Round 2. LOL!

Has everyone seen the denim jewelry on Pinterest? I love the bracelets. They are such a great use for the multi-layers at the seams of the jeans. It is truly amazing everything that can be made, and everyone in this swap made something different. I love it!

Yes Linda that is also on my “to do” list. Especially the bracelet you mention and I’m hoping to make a pair of feather earrings.

Wanda Sue . . . I'm still blown away by the beauty of my feather wall hanging. I actually have it hanging in a window place of honor in my studio catching some nice sun rays. And thank you too for posting the link information. I actually went right to www.instructables.com to get the instructions. Excellent directions which I downloaded and am anxious to try . . . I love all crafts that are fabric related and these feathers are simply stunning. . . can't rave enough about them. Thank you, thank you again.

Jean you are so welcome! I enjoyed making them, and am presently working on making myself one as well.
I’m sure you will have a better experience since you are an experienced seamstress. I am just learning, but
they are addictive. I just found a teal colored pair of jeans at the thrift store and can’t wait to create something with those.

Here are my denim goodies from Marie. There is a great zipper pouch with pockets on both sides and three personalized patches all with beautiful hand embroidery. Embroidery instructions are also included. Thank you Marie -- I love them!

Those are so pretty Marie and Judith! I haven’t done embroidery since I was a teenager, I have found several projects that I would like to make, but will have to brush up on those stitches.
