Members gathered this month with Liz
to sew beautiful quilted jackets.
A technique developed by MorninGlory Designs, the Town & Country jackets
were
assembled in a few
easy steps, quilting as you go.
|
Workshop participants wearing their jackets in different degrees of
completion:
(l to r) Jen Lacasse, Meg Rothberg, Iva Kinney, Bonnie Hunter, Sue Dible,
and Linda McLaughlin
|
Sue began by tracing the pattern on a tracing
medium
|
Sue McIver and Mary Smith trace and cut |
Now comes the hard part―fitting the pattern.
Liz (left) and Sue Fox (right) help Jen decide on the right size.
|
Iva and Meg trace diagonal markings on batting
and get ready to baste
|
Linda bastes the batting to the backing fabric |
Linda (helped by Liz) cuts out the collar
|
Sue adds some decorative stitching to her
strips |
Iva adds another strip to the front of her
jacket
|
Speedy Gonzales (aka Jen) finishes her jacket back first
|
Partially assembled, Bonnie shows the back of her jacket |
Iva just couldn't wait to try on her jacket―even
with only one sleeve set in
