Now that I have the pattern I want to see the tunic finished! I am doing it very systematically. I chose to begin working with the center front and center back panels. I will first piece all of them. I am creating all the pieces with mosaic patchwork and will then heavily overquilt all the pieces. I will have to choose some music while I do this as it is quite repetitive.

Yesterday I was deliberating between a tunic and a coat. Using the mosaic patchwork technique to create fabric, creates a relatively stiff fabric. The fabric is strong and warm but I wanted pockets and sleeves and I solved the dilemma - 2.

I have a goal. To complete my mosaic patchwork tunic or coat before this winter finally gets to us - 1.

This morning a friend on facebook asked in a post what our obessions are. I was just thinking about that! Standing with a cup of coffee in my studio and looking at all the things that I have created this week. Making new fabric from scraps is what I would call my obsessions. It is the technique that I connect with the most.

Every time I create with small pieces I wonder how I can work so small and then I work with even smaller piece

The pockets are perfect, they are colorful and flat and I have made them all the same size so they fit very nicely into one side of my bag. And then I thought why not share this idea. So I sat down and wrote a tutorial for Good Luck Amulet Pockets which should be done by this weekend.
