When the theme “Highly Prized” was announced, I did a quick brainstorming. What do I prize highly? My husband, my cats, the view out of my living room window, Sushi, a glass of Prosecco, my daily walk, my friends ... and a lot more. I can’t draw (or that’s what I thought before I joined the Sketchbook Challenge…), so I picked the most difficult topic <g>: my cats, or more specifically Flori Cat. For the Journal Quilt I used a digitally processed version of the same photograph I had used as reference when I made the pencil sketch and printed it on fabric. I made my own stamps for the paws (from erasers). The piece is freehand quilted following the irregular lines of the background fabric. Very simple - but that's the way I like to work (my motto is "less is more").
Btw: this is my sketchbook page:
