Program 169 – A Coat for Mildred

Running time: 01:08:00 Size: 31.22MB

Mildred is WebGuy’s Mom — and the best Mother-in-Law a girl could ever have. It’s really because of her that I got interested in Quilting.

Here’s a picture of the pastel Heartwarming Jacket that I made for her:

and a picture of the fabric label that I made for the jacket, using fabric and a Micron pen, so the label wouldn’t be scratchy on her neck:

And here is the video of Mom in her jacket:

Sorry the video quality is not very good, but it’s worth showing the form of the jacket and how it fit on Mom.

When I interviewed Gail Abeloe at The Back Porch, I had an opportunity to photograph her shop and staff:

Gail Abeloe

Jean with her colorful snake – who would have thought to make it out of Kaffe Fasset and Westminster Fabrics? A HIP snake!

The original Heartwarmng Jacket and pattern

The back room, class room, and Gallery – where there is always a Special Exhibit of quilts.

The Monterey Bay Aquarium quilt, and photo which was used for designing each quilter’s panel.

A part of the Kaffe Fasset collection/Westminster fabrics…

The shoppers are looking at the extensive selection of books. Here’s a hint: everything under the Umbrella is 50% off!

And I couldn’t resist this one last photo, although not quilting related…

Here is the Boy Wonder and, his date to Prom, Alisha. I made Alisha’s dress, which was her own design. She was a perfect model and easy to fit. Don’t they look cute? I just had to share ; )
