Good Friday evening. Today I was near the deli when I instantly said to a lady: "I love your jacket. Did you make it?" She said no, a lady in Groton CT named Flo made it around five years ago. It had a nice fleece lining inside and I it could have been a commercial jacket on the inside. Flo had paper pieced some of the designs and it looked really sharp!! Hope the picture shows how nice it is.

Whew! My first thought from your title was those awful Walmart pictures of people without much clothing discretion.

What a great jacket! isn't it fun to see someone else's beautiful work!??!!

Neat Jacket!

Was as a church rummage sale today and there was a folder of paperpieced patterns with one mostly done. Almost bought it, but they were the 4.5 ones and I knew I would never do those tiny things... Chris

That is really nice. I also approached a lady telling her I liked her jacket. I really looked at it good then came home and made one for myself.

I think I could find her if I go to the small quilt shop in that town and ask if they know her.

After my first chemo treatment, I ended up in the hospital. The Catholic Chaplain came in to give me communion and had on a vest made from an old applecore quilt. She didn't know anything about it, but we had a nice chat about the pattern, the approximate age, my quilts, etc. Isn't it nice to be able to talk to quilt wearers?

It's a great ice-breaker. Who says New Englanders aren't friendly?

Years ago -10 maybe? - there was on "Sewing with Nancy" a series of episodes with Elaine Waldschmitt showing how to make a quilted jacket. I just searched a bit and found this picture of one that someone had entered in a quilt show. The pattern is called "Simple Journey Jacket". I thought it was really cool and got the pattern. Haven't made the jacket yet..........

Somewhere ... somewhere in my memory banks... adding quilt blocks and sashing or filler strips to a purchased sweatshirt would give you the same look. The sweatshirt was disassembled for stitching on the blocks and then sewn back together when done. Stitch and flip method for the designs -- sewn on the wrong side of the sweatshirt, if I remember correctly. I have one of these (UFO, lol!) in a box somewhere ...

Hello there, again, Ms DG. Nice to see you once more.

You have the right of it with the description on how to do the sweatshirt jacket. You reverse the jacket, doing the quilt blocks on what would be the inside of the sweatshirt.

I've done many things with sweat shirts but never made a quilt jacket. I should try that some time.

Come back soon, Dyed Grey.

Me being the nosey person I am, I had her open the jacket. It appeared to be a commercial sweatshirt JACKET with snaps. Interesting, huh?

I made my secret sister a quilt jacket using a sweatshirt as the foundation. Turned out great, trouble was she had it in her shopping cart at the store and someone stole it right out of the cart - seems someone else liked it too!
