Le Chauvet Cave Wholecloth Jacket QLI

Here is an incredible jacket, you get the outline filled with rows of quilting patterns, none higher than 17". This jacket depicts the cave paintings as seen on the newest find in Europe, Le Chauvet Caves: on the same walls are rhinos, panthers, bison, horses, boar, and bear.

This pattern is labeled Extreme Digital because it is the recorded stitch file, not a digitized-after-the-fact file. In fact the file includes requilting some of the lines to simulate the primitive character of cave drawings.

The files are too large to bundle, so you can only order .iqp or .qli, or .dxf so be sure to select the one which will work for you.  Yes you also get the .pdf for your catalog.  If you really need it in a different format, contact me.

It may or may not stitch slower for you, but at any rate your stitching should be set slow, for all the detail. Quilt the jacket on a wholecloth single layer of a fabric with "body", my favorite is either the old Sandcastles (not made anymore, but you may have it in your stash), or Hemp Summercloth from www.dharmatrading.com. Quilt it on a wholecloth without batting or with batting (hobbs natural cotton drapes well, Hobbs Wool gives contour if your fabric drapes heavily, otherwise it adds too much body). Patchwork if you don't add too much confusion in the fabrics to see the quilting. Wear this proudly, make it for your friends, family, make as many times as you like, but I do not license the right to sell it at craft/art shows or on your website as a finished jacket, since I do that myself.
