If you have a stack of old jeans tucked away and a soft spot for shaggy Highland cows, this video is going to make you smile. Sam Alberts, from Quilting Curve Studio, shares her gorgeous denim Highland cow quilt — a project that turns worn-out denim into a true showstopper, full of texture, character and rustic charm.
Here is why this one is worth watching:
- A clever way to repurpose denim. Sam shows how the different shades and textures of old jeans add real depth to the quilt — proof that no two pieces of denim are ever quite the same.
- A Highland cow full of personality. The shaggy fringe, sweet expression and earthy palette make this quilt feel like a piece of folk art you will want to hang on a wall.
- Inspiration for your own animal quilt. Even if cows are not your thing, Sam's approach to colour, texture and shape gives you plenty of ideas for portrait-style quilts of your own.
