Blanket statement

Keri Perez uses creative skills to make new quilts from old jeans

MOSES LAKE — Keri Perez said what started it all was the quilt made out of old jeans. “I grew up with a blanket my dad had – it was a huge jean blanket,” she said. The fabric came from her dad’s jeans. It was denim on both sides, very heavy, and her dad really liked it. He liked it so much that he paid a quilt maker to take more of his old jeans and make quilts for each of his kids. “He gifted each of us a jean blanket. Then when I moved back home to Moses Lake, I wanted one for my kids, so I just made a couple for my kids,” she said. “Then my dad had more jeans, and rather than paying another gal to put them together, he had me start putting them together. And for him I probably did (about) 45 blankets.”
