Jane's Sewing Friends

Nine students and Jane spent 5 fantastic days at Asilomar.   The wonderful thing about this trip was the enjoyment of being with all the women in the class.  While after breakfast and lunch we might feel like hurrying on to the next fun thing of the day, after dinner we normally just sat for a bit and visited with each other.  Then a few of us took a quiet walk by the ocean before starting our evening sewing project.  Jane has gathered around her a great group of women.  

Of course we all have to take a sewing break and visit Back Porch in Pacific Grove, CA just to see if they have anything we cannot resist. 

Looks like Vicki couldn't resist this gorgeous rust fabric.  The linear design was wonderful and will make a very interesting garment.

After Jane helped us with selections for buttons, trim, and fabric at Findings, we went across the street to a shop with interesting garments.  Here Katherine is trying on a purple cape that can be worn many different ways.   And Jane is wearing a new jacket she found at Coldwater Creek.  

Maria and Sally have finished shopping. 

Maria loved a jacket Katherine was making, and she found this dark green wool boucle at Finding's in Carmel to make a similar jacket.  She made this unlined jacket the same day she purchased the fabric. 

Thea looks great in her fleece jacket.

Laura is making a cover for challah bread.  The piecing is done perfectly.  It is just amazing.   In the lower left hand corner you can see a paper pieced square she is trying out for use in the corner positions.  

Laura is making this a a gift for Ellen, another one of Jane's students. 

Ellen choose interesting textured fabric for this coat.

Two friends model their new shear tops.
