#4

Here is the latest one. I may have a slightly addictive personality=) This one is done in only 2 colours, but I added a collar and cuffs to it.
I may try one all in batiks. I was going to be done with this pattern, but my mom really, really likes the blue/brown one, so I will give it to her for her birthday.

On a Canadian quilting note, 4 quilts from Manitoulin Island got accepted into the National Juried Show in Saskatoon at the end of May. The infamous Judy M got 2 accepted and Myra T and I each got one accepted. That is pretty good representation for our little island. And I would not be surprised if the other 2 both walked away with some type of award, their handwork is amazing. And me, not so patient with the handwork, but I am working on figuring out how to market my 3D technique. I have a couple of ideas up my quilted sleeve=)

Try and Try Again

I gave it another shot and made another jacket. I like this one better. And then I made another one... I like it too, be sure to post if you like them. I am now on my 4th one.
Went to sudbury Thursday night and only went to the fabric store and Valu village. But made some great finds. I actually got a belt that matches the pink and white circle fabric. Material $3.00/m is just too good to pass up. That is the cost of the 2 jackets pictured here. I think I will make matching purses, but need to find some nice wooden or plastic purse handles first. Without spending too much money on them.

Oh, and my first jacket, my mom loved it and I think is going to shorten the sleeves and it made the perfect birthday gift for her. It is in June and I sent her home with it and then when I made the pink one, she did like it better, too bad! But be sure to compliment her on it when you see her=)
