I decided to enter the Journal Quilt Challenge over at 3Creative Studios when Vicki launched it January 7th. I had thought about doing a journal quilt a week last year, thought about it a lot, and before I knew it, 2010 had come and gone!!! This is the year. Making Tracks, a mixed media quilt, is my 2nd journal quilt of the year. The two yellow/orange pieces are parts of a paper towel that had been used for clean up in another project. The one yellow fabric is discharged and the rest of the fabric elements are hand painted . I carved a stamp for the bird tracks and stamped them on, did some foiling, beading, embroidery, free motion quilting, and free motion embroidered the bird. This is probably a little more involved than future quilts will be, but, I had the time!
So, where's journal quilt #1 you ask????? It's still a secret!
