My final Journal Quilt for this year is Christmassy in design and came about through a need to make the best use of my limited time and combine the quilt with making Christmas cards!
My cards this year include a monoprinted gift tag which has been foiled and embellished peel off stickers so I have also included a smaller version of these tags on the quilt.
The background of Christmassy fabric was first machine quilted in a simple star shape using a twin needle and metallic threads. The tags were then stitched on with a bow to finish. As in previous months, I stitched matching beads around the seam of the bound edge.
Simple, quick but I think effective!
