Bow Tie Hooded Flora Jacket (M) wool barrel shaped leg for visual

barrel shaped leg for visual appeal and lots of room for movement

The front plackets are constructed from very special cotton ribbon with a floral design that I found at a local estate sale here in Vermont

As this is a vintage/antique quilt that has lived a full life before becoming a pinch pocket

however the staining did not lift entirely

Bow Tie Hooded Flora Jacket (M) wool barrel shaped leg for visualThis Flora Jacket is made from a midweight quilt that is hand pieced and quilted in a Bow Tie pattern set on the diagonal. The quilting is so lovely, and has given this quilt a dense, crinkly texture. The edges are bound in rich indigo dot fabric, to allow the fabrics and colors of the quilt to truly be the focus. The inner hood is lined in the same indigo dot cotton, with front plackets constructed from a saturated leafy green vintage cotton fabric.
