This time last year was our 40th Wedding anniversary. I made a journal quilt to commemorate the occasion. It is one of only two quilts that I have ever had published. It was in Down Under Quilts in an article on quilting with metallic threads. The ruby at the bottom is made from a constructed fabric - bits of various metallic and shiny fabrics, threads and yarns vliesofixed to a base, machine stitched and distressed with a heat gun. Great fun to make. I also used this to make the 40 circles that represent the years of our life together. I had to count them several times to make sure I had the right number. Base fabric is satin with applied lace - not scraps from my own wedding dress unfortunately, but similar.
