6th January Journal Quilt

6th January 2012
On the 'Popular Patchwork' forum we have been given a challenge to produce a journal quilt on 6th of every month depicting what we do that day.
By the end of Friday 6th January 2012 I was still clueless - what on earth could I do??  I decided to start by writing down everything I did during the day which struck me that it was a bit like a diary...so that's what I decided to do for each month and incorporate it into the journal.
I printed the text onto fabric then printed a photo of the Hungry Caterpillar quilt and a photo of my friend Julie onto organza.  
(Julie died of cancer aged 45 on 6th January 2008...)
I then stitched it all to Evolon Soft and quilted it.
The photo is quite bright I think because I scanned it - the Evolon is more off-white.

I wonder what I'll be doing on 6th February....?

What a lovely way to remember a good friend. The diary idea fits the 'journal' quilt well also....
