A Cotton Vest and Coat

This is a vest I put into a quilt show presented by the North Kitsap Quilters.

I loved this fabric. Yet another remnant. It lends itself so well to a quilting pattern.

It could actually be worn in the reverse, since it tied shut and was bound with muslin--the same fabric as the lining.

The photo shows it rather brown, but it is more of a maroon.


The red, black and white jacket is made from a weird length of fabric given to me by a Capuchin Monk in Bahrain. How exotic that sounds!


"Father Bart" was originally from Chicago. A little dynamo, he was our link to the Bahraini culture taking us on trips to otherwise inaccessible weaving villages and pottery factories.

Somewhere he came across this unique piece of fabric and gave it to me because he knew I liked to sew.


The jacket has a cross-over front, full length sleeves and is also reversible.
