Whilst doing my coat I often get a little distracted. This time it was doing a mug rug swap with the quiltinggallery.com. I'd never done one before, this one was 'fall inspired'. It's not as easy as you might think. It easy enough making something for yourself or someone you know well, but to make something for a quilting person with only email as the contact it was quite a challenge. My partner I was assigned happened to come from Sevenoaks in Kent, I could have been paired up with a international partner, you just don't know who you might get. That's half the fun, making new quilting friends.
So here they are, the log cabin two are what I made for my partner. The mushrooms and blustery leaves are from Emily. I love them, they're so different from what I would make.
I wanted to create a life time achievement, to combine my two loves, pattern drafting & patchwork, so what better way than in a coat. Not your usual patchwork coat but one of my own designs. I wanted to have a coat that has a wow factor. So the challenge has started………
