Aurifil is home to a beautiful rainbow of thread in all weights, perfect for any of your sewing and quilting needs. My favorite product is the designer collection boxes which coordinate with various fabric lines! Aurifil will be mailing a thread pack to one lucky winner!
Make Modern is a digital magazine launched by a collaboration of quilters based in Australia. Their magazine is filled with modern quilt designs and a wonderful source of inspiration. Make Modern is offering a 6 month subscription to one lucky participant.
My goal for November (and I can't believe it is November already!) is to make a quilt coat. I decided to make lots of flying geese which took wayyyyyyyyyyy longer than I expected. But they are done! So onto quilting and coat making.

ReplyDeleteQuilted coats are all the rave right now! Have fun constructing yours!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun project. I look forward to seeing your garment in progress.
ReplyDeleteOooohhhh coatmaking is a very challenging level of sewing... can't wait to see what you make!
ReplyDeleteI am eager to see you finished coat! I've toyed with the idea of making one for quite a few years. (Someone once told me how very hard they are and it kinda squelched my motivation.) I hope I haven't squelched yours. :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your coat Patty - I look forward to seeing it.
ReplyDeleteHi Patty, good luck with your coat. I made one years ago and it was a success...but now it's too small :-(
ReplyDeleteOh, how cool! Can't wait to see how your coat goes.
ReplyDeleteits good coat weather! Looking forward to seeing your finished coat.
ReplyDeleteHave fun making your coat Patty. It will be fun to see all those geese flying around the coat as it progresses.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your quilted jacket!
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed with your jacket idea, the beginnings look great.
ReplyDeleteI missed the goal linkup as I just found your blog and love the idea of the One Monthly Goal. I wrote a post anyway :)
