Final JQ for 2015

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!
