flashback

Well I have had a flashback to a much neglected project thanks to an entry on this blog page http://calendarquiltchallenge.blogspot.com/
In May 2007 I started the 365 day journal quilt initiated by Leanne Beasley (http://www.leanneshouse.typepad.com/) and I diligently recorded and transcribed to fabric my journal entries for one whole year. I added stitcheries and appliqued bits and pieces and even added small patchwork blocks to separate the months. Well a lot happened in that year sad and happy things and I loved doing it. When it was over there was a little sadness that it was over then the next question "what do I do with it".
I sewed the entries together and left it at that but I think now is the time to dust it off and finish it completely!


But how? I don't know if any of the others finished theirs, I know the yahoo group has been deleted. So it's time to do this project justice and complete it...

But then the next question--where do I put it? The top alone measures approx 240 x 165 cm...




What a dilemma, once I solve this one world peace should be a breeze?

On a different note, the Friends swap has begun and my swap partner is Narelle from Queensland. Her lovely blog is ww.countryroses.blogspot.com
I have started working on the 'f' component of the swap and thinking ahead to the next part.
cheers

just like that.....

 Well just like that the school holidays have come and gone. I feel I had a lot of things booked in, either running around for mum, brunches...
