Gone but not forgotten

I had a fantastic time at the Baltimore Craft Show this last weekend! Many jackets went home with new owners. I'm including snapshots of a few that have moved on.

A detail of "Map", a pieced and appliqued jacket with amazing buttons that exactly matched the color, shape and size needed to complete the design.

"Kanji", inspired by Japanese calligraphy and pieced from a buttery yellow and bright turquoise, together these colors look so fresh and new, like spring!

Another "Kanji", this one in a new over-sized design, because sometimes you just want to feel relaxed and easy.

Black and White Branches

Inspired by wintry tree branches, this new jacket is pieced from a wonderful kimono silk printed with views of a Japanese village surrounded by a forest of trees. This is one of my all time favorite jacket shapes. It's a classic because it's comfortable, easy to wear and looks great on.
