Happy 2008

January - 8 1/2" X 11" mini quilt.

At the November, 2007 Creative Needles quilt group meeting, a new quilter frien had old feedsacks and she gave me a piece of this antique aged feedsack. It was stained and faded colors with a lighthouse image and stars. It is a perfect backgroud for my January mini quilt. It worked well to add a meaning of saying goodbye to the old year and welcome the new year of 2008. I hand stamped the numbers and words to express SIMPLIFY, FOCUS AND ENJOY. All other designed elements were hand raw edged appliqued. I set a goal that for this year I will make a mini quilt for each month.
