The last two weeks have been pretty intense helping my talented niece with the last of the appliqued and quilted pieces for her fashion show.
I finished quilting all the pieces for the jumpsuit. There are 15 pieces altogether, so I imagine it is quite voluminous. Can’t wait to see this one put together!
Then the pieces for a jacket… love the collar!
Pieces for another top:
And a coat:
And the last little “job” was to crochet a few more strips for some of the other garments:
My part is done. I haven’t seen the finished pieces yet, so am excited to see the final results. I understand all of the garments are pretty much finished, and all is left to do this week is finishing touches and fitting. Saturday, April 2 is the fashion show, and I can’t wait to see the collection!
Here’s another pic of the black dress that will close the show, seen from the back:
I am a self-learner. I taught myself to sew and to quilt. And I taught myself how to draw. I am learning how to dye my own fabrics and am dabbling with mixed media. I am a quilt designer and teacher, and design and publish my own line of quilt patterns. With this blog I would like to share the bits and pieces of my life.

Hi Angie, I joined your cadre of applique admirers a few months ago and am working on the gnome blocks and the garden blocks. I love your whimsical style and enjoy receiving your daily emails. I live on Vancouver Island on the west coast of Canada where I have been appliquéing since I retired from teaching elementary school in 1995. I am blown away seeing the exquisite fashions designed by your niece. It must be great fun, if a great bit stressful, working on these fabulous outfits to a deadline. Thank you for your delightful patterns. I am enjoying them so much!
