second version of my quilt coat, made during NYC’s shutdown last spring

***I’ve moved! Come visit me over at my new blog and online store!***

I’m working away behind the scenes to finish up my latest batch of hand dyed quilted goodies. They are all one of a kind, so be sure to join my email list so you don’t miss out! In the mean time, I thought I’d tell you about my quilt coat!

My last post was about the first quilt coat I made when things were on pause here in NYC last year. I really loved the first one, but there were a few tweaks that I wanted to make.

I changed the shape of the underarm seam, removed a seam from the sleeves and added a seam to the center back.

For the quilting, I tried hand tying, which I hadn’t done before. I decided to place the knots on the inside of the coat, so as not to make the outside look too busy.

I am totally in love with this coat! It is so warm and cozy and basically feels like wearing a quilt all day long.

first version of my quilt coat, made during NYC’s shutdown last year

I tried to put my time to good use during the shutdown last year. For me, that meant spending about sixteen hours a day at my sewing machine. I had been mulling over design ideas for a quilted coat, and this was my first attempt.

I didn’t want the design to be too complicated and I wanted it to be a “one size fits all” type of garment.

I think it came out surprisingly well for a first try! There are a few things that I tweaked for the second version, but overall it came out pretty close to what I pictured in my head.

I’ve been thinking of selling the pattern for this coat, so be sure to join my email list if you want to know when it becomes available!

hand quilted version of the quilt pattern I designed last year

***I’ve moved! Come visit me over at my new blog and online store!***

I’m catching up on blogging a bunch of things from the past few years. One of them is this mini quilt that I made last year, using a pattern that I designed. I wanted something that wasn’t overly complicated (it’s all rectangles), but that still had an interesting pattern.

I decided to hand quilt it, because I was working on it during the shutdown here in NYC last March, so I was in no hurry to finish.

I love the texture that the hand quilting adds to both the front and the back!

Once I went back to work I kind of put this pattern on the back burner, but I’m thinking I should finish it up and add it to my store. This version is a good size for a wall hanging or a baby quilt, but I will also include a larger version for a throw or twin sized quilt.
