The Journal Quilt Project
Conceived by Karey Bresenhan, this project made its debut at the International Quilt Market and Festival in Houston, Texas in 2002. 150 art quilters sent their small quilts from January through September to the festival, creating an exciting exhibit that kept drawing me back for another look.
The rules were simple: the size must be 8-1/2 x 11 inches and we were to keep notes - a journal - of our work and thoughts. The focus of my journal quilts for this year had two purposes: 1) to work with different backgrounds for my beadwork, and, 2) to work with the results of a research project of mine into the symbolism of color. I consulted many sources, and meanings and definitions were added to the list without prejudice. However, when possible, I chose to work with the more positive attributes on the lists.
Each thumbnail is linked to a page with the list of colors and associated themes, a larger image, and a detail, or you can just page from one month to the next by clicking on the gold arrows.
