Journal Quilts June/July
What is a Journal Quilt?
A Journal Quilt is a small piece, often A4, which the quilter uses as a vehicle to explore new ideas and / or techniques. I have set a personal goal to create one per month during 2009.
June 09 - Sardines On Toast
Sardines and beetroot on toast
was a favourite childhood tea, I
love food and can get very
sentimental about past meals!
This quilt is a practise run for colours and techniques for a quilt I hope to enter in a show next year. Hand dyed fabrics and T-shirt transfer. It didn't work out too well because I rushed the quilting and didn't follow the transfer instructions properly.
July 09 - Fantasy Ice Cream
The colour looks a bit wierd
because it was scanned not
photographed. Hand dyed
fabrics, applique and
embellishments make up this lovel
ice cream sundae, I'm thinking of
doing a pattern range based on
ice cream parlours, let me know
what you think!
The glass is cut from a piece of thick clear PVC from some kind of packaging.
