Week 52 Journal Quilt! This is the final in my weekly series for 2011. I kept my new years resolution for 2011!!!! This journal quilt is slightly larger than the others for this year. I typically did 10" X 10". This one is 11" X 14". Quilting Arts Magazine had a "Time Flies" challenge. You were supposed to capture your favorite memory on a quilt. Last summer I was watching the sun set while mike was kayaking in on Lake Michigan. I snapped a picture with my camera. It was one of those fleeting perfect moments. It is hard to believe it was 5 months ago. I altered the picture in photoshop using the "posterize" function. I then used wonder under stabilizer to trace each of the color blocks. I stitched all of the pieces. I then used thread painting to enhance portions of the quilt. Lace was used for the waves and beads for the water droplets. May 2012 be full of many "perfect moments".
