Just completed my last journal quilt of the year. I am glad this year is finished – I have found the colour theme difficult to get enthusiastic about. I think that has a lot to do with insufficient colour contrast for the way I work as well as a busy year. This means I haven’t really risen to the challenge very well! I need to think very carefully about next year’s JQ challenge and only do it if I feel I can do it properly.

I have enjoyed working with the fabric that I made by doing gestural marks on the floor ie from a distance.  I will do more fabric that way.  I also like the texture that has come from cheaper cloth than I usually used.

Happy New Year to you all.
