Arabesque
I finally finished my jacket from the "Rhap Group". The others are not pleased with me because I finished first, but I didn't have any real quilting to do (one of the benefits of wearables over quilts).
Thanks to Linda Barnhart who made some name suggestions. As soon as I read her list of words I immediately knew I wanted to name this jacket Arabesque.
As I mentioned before this jacket was inspired by Ricky Tims' book Rhapsody Quilts. Instead of working square I elongated the design for a jacket. It was fun and a real challenge to take someone elses work and make it my own.
The front (I think my mannequin had a bit too much to drink; she seems to be listing ;-)
The back (my favorite view)
The side
And a closeup
Just in time for the fashion show tomorrow night! I have one more jacket in the partially completed phase and then it's time to start drafting some new ideas. Maybe I'll make a quilt next, just for fun!

Fabulous jacket! What do you use for the basic jacket pattern? Do you create your own, or use a commercial pattern?
WOW- now that I see what you do I understand how you will put what you learned at the workshop to good use!
How was the fashion show? I understand it was the last one for Bernina as the sponsor.
