It was awfully nice of Julia at Room To Learn to co-ordinate this wonderful quilting retreat in Jerome, Idaho, at the Monastary. http://www.roomtolearn.biz/

Her 'room to learn' is located inside the Knit One Quilt Too knitting and quilting shop in downtown Kuna, Idaho. http://www.knitonequilttoo.typepad.com/

On April 16, day 1, I completed the handstitching part of the binding on the arms of my kimono jacket. It is named "Elephants of Style".  If you are interested in learning to make kimono jackets, visit Sharon Baker's web site: http://www.kapamaker.com/   She has been very busy with life lately, so her website is not current, however, it is still valid and inspirational.  You can get her patterns and books at the Cotton Club, an on-line quilt shop: http://www.cottonclub.com/ 

I love making these kimono jackets. This is my third, and I made this one for me.
