I like my Journal Quilts to reference what I've been up to : classes I've taken or places I've been.
So June's JQ above is based around techniques learnt on
CQ Summer School with a combination of photos printed on silk ( lighter colour) and on black t shirt transfer paper ( more intense colour)
July's JQ is based on
'Reading a Paint Surface' course at City lit , with photos of final piece printed on cotton. I've got several of these fabric studies on the design wall , mulling over ideas.
A journal quilt of sorts ( it's 12 x 12 inches), this is
my contribution to the
SAQA Benefit Auction. All are now listed on the site, such a variety, and I'm currently thinking about choosing 6 for my '
dream collection' . It's very gratifying to see my piece included in a couple already!
Ian is on the mend and I've set up my sewing machines and fabric is strewn around my studio composing a quilt on the theme 'green ' for International Threads. About time too! Looking forward to FoQ next week!!!
Lovely journal quilts
