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
