January Journal Quilt
This is my very first ever Journal Quilt. I belong to an online art quilters group and decided this year to do the journal quilts each month along with the other members. Yes I know we're half way through February. The quilts are only small - A4 size (12" x 8 1/2") There is a different theme each month - January's was Heat. Appropriate as I was stitching this last Saturday. The hottest day in Melbourne's history (46 deg C) and the start of the worst bushfires we have ever known. The last report I heard 185 dead and nearly 800 homes burned to the ground. That death toll is sure to rise as more bodies are discovered in burnt out homes and cars.

Ironic isn't it? Prophetic even... Such a sad time for all of us here in Victoria... I love your work and I think your journal quilt is beautiful... Lx
Very effective, Nola. It certainly documents the times even if that wasn't your intention when you started.
