"Calms me down" Blue Journal Quilt October

This is a print of the original collagraph on paper. I used polyfilla and pva glue drawn into and an imprint of some lace.
The original has a cut out and is 8cm x 12 cm.

To get more blue in the design design I added a border and more blue to the design then printed onto recycled cotton.

This is the finished Journal Quilt.
I machine stitched and hand stitched the background and stitched a sentence in the background.
I had recently been to a lecture, given by Nancy Crow at the V and A. She was a very inspiring speaker. One thing she said really resonated with me. It is why I love fabric too, and why I particularly love stitching cloth.

"The feel of cotton sliding between my fingers calms me down."
