In process, a vest pieced from the prettiest colors of kimono silk.
I didn’t count, but I think it totaled about a bazillion little squares and rectangles, at least it seemed to be that many. It took many hours of podcasts, news stories and audio books to sew them all together.
So close! Soon, for my next show, a brand new vest.
And by the way, that will be in February for ACC’s Baltimore show. Until then, I’ll be focusing on my favorite thing, making and sewing new work.

End of Summer
My way to celebrate Labor Day?
Keep busy.
On my table, last week’s projects:
Subtle beading on the mother of the bride jacket.
The same for a pair of pants. Can you see them? A black strip just visible in the middle the picture, with black beads along the side seams.
Orange and black scarves, [Princeton University’s colors, for a store close to their campus].
And the beginnings of a purple shell, beads to be added, to go under the pieced jacket.
I’m sending everyone wishes for a beautiful fall!
Perfectly ripe tomatoes, fat orange pumpkins, sweet grapes, apples, pears and
the perfect amount of the work you love.
New Jacket for a Mother of a Bride
I spent last week immersed in a happy and enjoyable project.
For a mother of a bride, a special jacket pieced in her favorite colors.
Blue and purple with a dash of fuchsia and gold. All set off with a base of black.
Below, working on the front, the right side finished.
By the end of Friday, on my [clean!] floor, piecing completed. The front, sleeves, collar and back.
Next up, beads for sparkle and dash.
Stay tuned.
