Two weeks has gone by and no new journal cover! If you've followed this blog from the start you'll know the first project I make each year is a new cover for my diary. It's always made within the first few days. I have been doing everything else but that, until last night. There's a sense of relief it's finally started.
What have I been doing? Working on cushion club.
Yes, I will have a matching cushion and journal cover. This is my favourite fabric and felt combination right now.
Remember the red & white quilt started Christmas Eve, the top is finished. By happy chance it is the just the right size for the bench seat at the front door.
When I couldn't decide on a backing fabric I thought I'd try this.
The 12 inch Drunkards Path templates may have remained wrapped forever in their packaging if I hadn't decided to use them here. It's been on my wish list to make a quilt with the Drunkard's Path block using only two fabrics. I'm satisfied now, even if it will be on the back.
Journal cover looks so good can not wait to see it finished.
But the red and white quilt- beautiful! The back is just the finishing touch. You have inspired me again.

Tantalising beginnings of your new journal cover. I love how your quilt turned out, especially the back. Simple blocks enlarged look so good.
