February Journal Quilt - Finished

This is my finished 12 X 12 X 12 Quilt Studio February Journal Quilt. The theme for my Journal Quilts is Family Tree. Click here to see January's Journal Quilt. This month is the B****e Family Branch One. The Photos are DH Great Grandparents, Grandparents, Aunt and Dad. The older photos are from the early 1900s and are tin plates. The other photos are black and white. I scanned all the photos and tin plates with my Epson CX4800 ink jet 3 in one scanner,printer and copier. I was surprise how well they all scanned. I am having a problem with the black cartridge so I used my HP7350 to print the photos. I wanted to do crazy quilt blocks and use the stitches on my New Home, Memory Craft 8000 sewing machine.

Emails, Blogs and February Journal Quilt

Today I read and read emails and blogs. It was well after 2:00PM when I finished.

I also finished my Quilt Studio February Journal Quilt. My reveal date is Wednesday so you need to check back to see what I did.

I was also behind on reading the US mail. I did get a package from Julaine from Julaine In Fiberspace blog with pieces of Tyvek and Angelina --Thank-you! I always wanted to try both but did not know where to get small samples.

I also got a package from Joanna from SerenityisBliss blog with Joanna's hand dyed cotton and silk fabrics -- Thank-you! As soon as I saw the fabric on Joanna's blog I accepted the challenge. When I opened the package today I knew just what I was going to do with the fabrics. I did my sketch today and now I have to cut the fabrics. Joanna gave me enough fabric to make her a postcard and I will also have enough left over for a small art quilt. I may use the same design for both. I am also going to use Julaine's Tyvek and Angelina on these projects.

Tuesday I am going to work on my siggy blocks so I can get them in the mail this week. I have 5 packages to mail by the end of the week. With the bad weather here in Chicagoland I will have alot of sewing and studio time.

Thank-you everyone who has commented the past few days about my postings. I will get back in the comment routine for your blogs on Tuesday.

Until then I Hope Everyone Has A Great Evening!
