Journal quilts made with my recycled fabrics.

I sell recycled Japanese cottons (from old futon covers, kimono linings etc.) at some of the shows. These are pieces Rebecca Ball has been making with some of it -

...as promised I have attached a few photos of the monthly journal quilts I have been making with your fabric - these are small 7" x 10" .Three are going to be on display at Creative Stitches show in Exeter in September. Now I have more of this fabric I am hoping to complete a bigger piece this year. Really love your stand and all the fantastic fabrics.

The theme I chose for the journal quilts I'm making this year is journeys, representing travelling through the year month by month, both physically, in the imagination and by using fabric that has travelled further than me.

I have used Recycled Japanese fabric, found map, thread and wadding, machine stitched.

These are great - I look forward to seeing a larger piece sometime! Thanks for the photos.
