The first of a Journal Quilting project, part of a class at Valley Fabrics (LFS) that seems to be as much conversation and art class as quilting. Which is good! I don't want a class so much as I want pushing, deadlines and reasonable critiques. The theme for the year is All About Me, for January it is: Where I Am Now.

Almost done with my second handwritten journal!

"The essence of all beautiful art, all great art, is gratitude". I am grateful that I have discovered the joy of journaling
