Journal Challenge

Heat In The Outback - Journal Quilt No.1

A group challenge for 2009 is to make twelve quilts based upon a new theme for each month. The theme for January is HEAT….very suitable given the weather lately in Sydney. Determined to use some of my stash scraps I also discovered a photo (already printed on fabric) portraying a very hot me, trying to look cool during a visit to the Flinders Ranges in South Australia.

This A4 size quilt is embellished with machine quilting, hand embroidery, angelina, and organza. It is the first of my entries for this challenge, which participation is very new to me. It was quick and enjoyable to make.
