The Vest Became a Quilt from Quilts + Color

One of my current quilting projects is making quilts from some of my wearable art.

This quilt used to be a vest. This is the first of the 12 pieces of wearable art I am repurposing as a quilt.

I no longer do style shows so I selected these pieces that would make interesting quilts.

Stay tuned to future blog posts as there will be more.

Another Special Vest Designed For NSQG Trip To Paducah from Quilts + Color

Many groups and guilds who attend large quilt conferences have a special piece of clothing they all wear.

I designed this vest for the Northwest Suburban Quilt Guild for their members who attended the Paducah Show years ago. It incorporates the NSQG Logo and the Dogwood that blooms in Paducah.

I have also used my vest to hold all my quilters pins.

The back of the vest also incorporates the NSQG logo and the Paducah Dogwood.

I quilted my vest by hand.

Jinny Beyer Hilton Head Seminar Sigature Vest from Quilts + Color

I attended the Jinny Beyer Quilting Seminar on Hilton Head Island from the second year through many more years.

I created this blank vest in 1987 and had everyone sign it.

This is the back of the vest and I also had people who were on it add a year if they returned in 1988 or 1999.

It was a fun project and I enjoy looking back at the names and remembering the friends I made and many I still keep in touch with.
