There is something so calming about scenes from an Asian Garden and this Tabula Rasa Jacket captures several small scenes isolated from a large cotton quilting panel. For several years Rae collected fabrics to complement the panel before piecing and constructing the jacket using a sashing technique which makes it easy to place favorite motifs in central locations on the jacket. Even the side panels and sleeves have a sashing line incorporated in the design. The Stand Collar from the Shirt Variations made this a very interesting spin on the quilted Tabula Rasa Jacket.
