OK, I set myself some goals and whilst I didn't acheive everything (and no I did not get up at 5.30 - that was a rediculous idea!), I did manage this....
The detached chain stitch sample - random and circular
Another stitch sample (which wasn't on my list) - Eyelet stitch, regular and square
And....
My first journal quilt... "Keeping it together..."
Made with hand-dyed fabrics in cotton and flannel
Detail of beads and faces
Detail of stitching. I was so please with how this turned out that I almost stopped at that (some people have trouble knowing when to stop, I howeverhave a tendency of stopping too soon) but didn't.
Back to work for a week and then a weekend away with the girls.....

Sophie, I love your journal quilt. I keep going back to look at it again.
Your works are beautiful. ciao ciao from Italy
This is beautiful!
Lovely work, Sophie!
Great journal quilt - but I also really like your eyelet stitch sampler. Appeals to my sense of order (which I am trying hard to conquer!) I think, while still being a bit freeform...
I love your stitching, but I think your journal quilt is just fabulous. I love the colours so much.
