Imagine

Here's another one of my favourite things - a dual purpose piece. This little journal quilt not only serves as a journal quilt (last week's) but also as a piece for the Challenge Quilts group, where the current theme is "Imagine". I realise the major word on the piece is "hope", but "imagine" is also up there, in the corner. And the quilt was inspired by the word imagine - I often think of imagination as a web - words and images weaving together in the mind, so the webs seemed natural. Not to mention, it's kind of that time of year. So the piece is done in autumnal, slightly Hallowe'eny colours with spider webs stitched in each square and some inspirational words and faces.



And then there's another journal quilt - this week's one, this time - this has a very straightforward Hallowe'en theme, and includes a few scraps of fabric from the project I have been working on which I can't show you. (I finished quilting it yesterday, and now only need to bind it - hurrah!) I shall take photos so that when it's reached its new home, it can be shown. Very annoying all this secret stuff ...

I also received a postcard today for the Neocolour 2 swap - in this instance, Rita has used the neocolour crayons to create the sky background on this card - lovely, I think. I must dig these crayons out again and do some more with them.
