14.6 – Conquer a Fear – Challenge 6 of Project QUILTING Season 14

                                                  

A Quilted Jacket 
For this challenge I decided to make a quilted jacket. I found the pattern in McCall's Quilting the January/February 2023 issue. It seemed pretty straight forward. Making clothes is so out of my wheelhouse. My previous attempts at making clothing are Halloween costumes! I'm not comfortable with sewing something to fit a body- especially my body. I thought I would face the fear and give this jacket a try.


                                            I used a wool blend for the body of the coat.


I purchased bias binding to finished the edges. I also decided to change the sleeve shape into a wide cuff.

I had a lot of fun quilting on wool and I used my pounce pad and stencils for the Ginkgo leaf pattern

Project Quilting Season 15!  15.1 – Bird House Hello!  I'm excited to join in another season of Project Quilting this will make my 4th year participating. I hope you enjoy my first challenge for 2024. There's Room for Everyone! By Jodie Solorio This was the first time I've made a wholecloth quilt and it was the first time I've used fabric paints instead of applique. As I was brainstorming ideas with my quilt friends it was suggested to keep the flowers in black and white. I thought this was a great idea as it would emphasize the birdhouse. I added several more birds and I found the perfect binding!   "There's Room for Everyone!" By Jodie Solorio This month out guild hosted a presentation and a workshop with Spanish Quilter Cristina Arcengui Bono.  I was lucky enough to attend her workshop, "Tea At Five".
