I would like to journal my changes that are happening in my life. So include me please. I like the journal quilts that I have seen up to now.

Count me in too! I need to practice my machine quilting, and have an excuse to use my needle-felting machine! I have a new wall quilt I'm starting, but it would be fun to experiment with the smaller journal format. Not sure what topic I'll use yet, but I know it'll come my way!

Margaret, pleeeease, tell us how you did it. I understand the basic principles, but did you start with dry or wet fabric? And what kind of dye did you use?

Mind you, I shouldn't even consider something like that. It's been raining here almost nonstop for weeks. And when we did have a little sunshine recently it came with very strong winds.

I've just uploaded a JQ. My 'theme' is to try out different techniques and this was done when we were getting some glorious weather so only took a short time to print.

The quilts so far in the Journal show and tell are great. Nice work Karen and Lorchen.

I played with the journal quilt that I had done and didn't really like....I figured out sometime last night as I slept what I didn't like and fixed it today. I feel like it now represents what I was thinking at the time I created it....so it is now in the Show & Tell area and I am happy that I could rescue it....thank goodness for the brain still being able to percolate while I sleep.

Thanks for getting the ball rolling Lorchen...your mini's are great.
Karen

They're great Lorchen and just the thing to start off the S&T!

Better warm up the machine now...

Thank you, Lilo, for setting up the 'Show and Tell'!

I've started the ball rolling and entered a Journal Quilt that I made a few years ago.

Edited: I decided to pop all three in.

I searched the web for information regarding journal quilts, since I really had never heard of them and was curious about what a journal quilt was. For those of you participating in quilt journaling, you might enjoy these journal quilt projects that I found on the Marcus Fabrics website.

TQSWizard Lilo has set up a Journal Quilt Show & Tell site for us so we are set to go whenever you have a quilt you would like to share. Thank you Lilo.
I am excited to see what "creative minds want to show" on this site. Mine hasn't stopped churning and I feel something beginning to come together in my brain....now to get it in fabric....I know I said I was working on one...and I was, but it went all wonky on me the other day and I felt the need to re-think it. It may get salvaged yet...but life has brought forth some other things to work on.
Until later....keep creating and show us your stuff! Karen
