The journal quilt challenge for 2017 is to create twelve monthly quilts measuring 11" X11".  We must decide upon a theme of our own at the beginning of the year.    I have decided to work on the theme "Black and white, with a splash".
Picture
January - Just a simple still life of a pot of assorted tools on my desk with a pile of sketchbooks.
 Picture
February - a random street with a prominent telephone kiosk. The sky was supposed to be very pale indeed, but the phone rang at the wrong moment and it was too late!
 Picture
March - This church is around the corner from where I live.  I have removed the bins, planted a tree, imported a bike and made a few other changes.
Picture
April - We stayed in a sweet Air b and b place in Torvizcon, Spain - The Sierra Nevada, near where my son lives in a yurt on top of a mountain.  This is similar to the entrance.
 Picture
May -  I'm still hooked on London buses (see Made in Europe I and II).  This is based on a photo I took.
 Picture
A random window - lends itself nicely to Black and White with a Splash.  Drawn and painted and stitched.
Picture
July - Don't ask me why but I was rather taken with my basket of pegs in the garden - there seem to be such a variety.  Drawn, painted and stitched
 Picture
John going upstairs.  A splash of blue this time.  Drawn, stitched and a little paint added sparingly.
 Picture
September - a picture based on a photo I took in Bath one day.
Picture
October - a purely imaginary scene.  I made stencils for the foreground foliage.
 Picture
November - An imaginary and, hopefully, wistful view of a harbour, with pub.
 Picture
December - "We'll meet beneath the station clock".....  A bit of imaginary nonsense!
