Kantha coat pattern

I have coveted a kantha jacket since I saw one made from a bedspread at my first Design Outside the Lines (DOL) retreat with Diane Ericson and guest tutor Carol Lee Shanks back in 2014. My covetousness was so strong that whilst still in Ashland I almost purchased a kantha bedspread.

On these grey winter days, I find myself needing an injection of color into my wardrobe. This jacket is certainly that! Colorful, loud, a little wild. Tim says that this jacket has turned me into the quintessential Vermont hippie. I'm not mad about that. I've told you before that at least part of my aesthetic leans towards former elementary school art teacher moves to a farm in Vermont to pursue her pottery. This jacket definitely fits this mold! To keep the Vermont theme going I took these…

Patchwork quilted coats and jackets have been popping up everywhere lately. Whether they're real quilts transformed into outerwear or quilted pieces made specifically for garments, the phenomena has caught my attention too. A project is brewing!

Have you ever heard of Thun? I hadn't. I suspect it may be categorized as a Precious Moments-type of collector thing, but I was taken in by the stuff. After much deliberation, I bought myself a hedgehog. Check out the catalog for more cuteness.
