I love to travel all over the globe shopping for textiles to add to my wearable art. I have taught quilting to school children in Nepal, seminole patchwork to seamstresses in Thailand, and jackets and embellishment to quilters in Turkey where I also served as a judge at 2 of their International Quilt Shows. I have created garments for 5 Fairfield and Bernina Fashion Shows and teach classes on embellishment and wearable art. Lately I have been leaning more toward making art quilts.

Marcia's Studio Day Three
I brought in my new Orange Jacket which Marcia was gracious enough to model. The back has a Flower Collar from Southwest China. Worn by men for ceremonies it has extremely intricate stitching and applique.
It is hard to see the black band down the front.
I am not entirely sure that I like it. Perhaps its just too " orange".
After all this modeling Suki had to check herself out in the mirror.
I think it is fine, Priscilla. Maybe your model friend is a bit short for it, but otherwise it looks great!
