Here is the year's collection of Journal Quilts. Some ideas I will probably develop into larger pieces of work.

This is the last Journal Quilt of 2012 - actually finished today in my new shed. It is a mixed media piece. The background is emulsion paint, scrim and tissue - painted and machine stitched. The inset panel is a digital print with text and hand stitched. The quotation is the reason I made the piece. It is a quotation by Edith Sitwell that I was sent recently and particularly like. "Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth, for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the fire: it is the time for home." This is a view of the interior of my new studio/shed. We braved IKEA for a table yesterday and I have moved in my sewing machine. There is still lots to do - the plumbing needs finishing, electrics tweaking and the shelves and storage cupboard to kit out. It has been lovely working in there today. |
