Last week I shared a photo of the strips I had cut from my Charley Harper organic prints from Birch Fabrics. It is not easy to cut into those prints!
Since then, they have been pieced into rows and joined into a quilt top, basted and quilted.
Now let me tell you... It's even harder to cut into them once again!
But I promised my mom I would make her a quilted jacket like the one I made for myself back in March. You can see that jacket here. I hope to have my mom's jacket finished in time for her birthday on May 5th.

Great fabrics....
This is an awesome jacket! Thanks for hosting me in your blog. Greetings from Greece. Christine
ReplyDeleteThose fabrics are stunning. I've never seen them anywhere. I loved your jacket and can't wait to see your Mom's.
ReplyDeleteMom and daughter jackets...look at you!...thanks for the social time.
ReplyDeleteHoly moly, I love what you're doing there! The cardinals make me very happy. Fantastic work! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link up party!
well I finished one small table topper and it is now on the table and I continue on my large quilt on the frame - it is getting closer and closer to finish. Love the Charlie Harper fabric and all sewed in strips and ready to be cut again is interesting.
ReplyDeleteYou will get it done! And your mom will love it too!
ReplyDeleteVery nice. I hadn't thought about the fact that you have to make a quilt to cut it up for these jackets. Yikes! I'm not sure I could do that. It's going to look so pretty though.
ReplyDeleteI adore this fabric I am looking for the best price and I am buying the entire line......... plus the AG solids to go with it. I see how hard it would be to cut, but it looks fabulous
ReplyDeleteI'm sure your mom will love the jacket. But I think it would kill me to cut up the fabric too.
ReplyDeletea real snazzy waistcoat
ReplyDeleteSo much work going into the jacket. I hope it'll all work out just at the first one you made. Fingers crossed.
ReplyDeleteYou have a very lucky Mom.....Happy early Birthday to her.
ReplyDeleteLove this fabric - your Mum will be the best dressed birthday gal!
ReplyDeleteThat Charley Harper is gorgeous fabric. I bet Mom will be thrilled with the jacket.

your mom is very lucky! I've never made quilted clothing... very cool!
ReplyDeleteYour lucky Mom! This one looks like it will be just as beautiful as the first one. Do you think she will model it in her birthday suit, or are you the only brave one in the family? Lol
ReplyDeleteThe jacket is looking great! I am sure she will love it.
ReplyDeleteLOVE your Charlie Harper fabrics for your mother's coat. And it looks like you're making progress... Well done!
ReplyDeleteWow I love this fabric. Can't wait to see the finish. Lucky mom.
