Thanks to Sharon Heilman, photographer for the Mountain Top Quilters Guild in Prescott, Arizona, for this photograph. I had just finished my presentation "Quilting & Caring: The Alzheimer's Art Quilt Initiative" when she took it.

I look fluffy in my green Rag Fur Jacket. I've had this particular jacket for a long time. I remember I was teaching in Nashville in 2005 and a fellow came up to me at the Opryland Hotel and asked if my jacket turned colors in the fall. Yeah. Right. Everybody's a comedian!


What's THIS?
It's RAG FUR made with bias strips of fabric sliced every ½" and then sewn to a jacket base. It's what makes my Rag Fur Jacket the most fun garment you'll ever wear. It only takes about 45 minutes to cut all the fringe for an entire jacket, thanks to some pretty slick folding and rotary slicing techniques. You don't even have to sew it on straight.

You Gotta Try Piping Hot Binding!
It's time to upgrade to AWESOME bindings. You won't believe how easy this is and how great it looks! Use Susan Cleveland's book and tool to insert narrow corded piping under your applied binding. Don't wait! Order one now! (Got a friend? Order two!)
