"That Coat" by Myrna Giesbrecht

 

 

 

 

 
   
  This gorgeous, full-length coat was pieced and quilted by Myrna Giesbrecht, who models it here. She fondly calls it "That Coat" now, but didn't think too kindly of it while it was under construction. She make it for a presentation to her fellow quilters in Merritt, British Columbia, in April of 2000. "Nothing like the stress of talking to an almost-local group!" she laughs. The coat features extensive beading, paper piecing, and traditional piecing. The bottom border is formed from New York Beauty points.
