Occasional ramblings

Just a few thoughts or notes on ongoing projects.

Black and white with a splash

I have blogged before about a new class that I am going to be teaching.   The first time will be at Midsomer Quilting in Chilcompton.

As I also like to take the Contemporary Quilters Journal Quilt Challenge, I thought I would combine the two.  The JQ challenge involves a small quilt each month for a year (see journal quilts elsewhere on this website).  This year the brief is that they must be 11" X 11" and to a theme which we can set for ourselves, but commit to at the beginning of the year. 

As I like to have samples to show in class, I decided to make my jqs on the theme of Black and White, with a splash.

It is almost the end of January, so I thought I had better get started.   This jq is the result of looking around my desk and deciding to draw a mug of assorted items, adding a small pile of notebooks to the side.  Almost anything can look ok if the colour is right.  The mug is actually blue, but I decided to make it pink.

I started stitching and then decided to put a simple suggestion of a window and curtain in the background.  The strong pink should bring the mug forward.
