In the Moment in My Sixties #15

In 2014 when I turned 60 on January 1st, I had the bright idea that I would do a journal quilt once a week. I made it through 10 weeks and then dropped the project. Now that I am in the last year of my 60’s, I am determined to complete the project or at least add to it. I named the series “In the Moment in My Sixties”. Each quilt represents what was on my mind the day I made it.

On the day I made “In the Moment in My Sixties #15, I need affirmation that I have the strength, courage and determination to dream and to act. This quilt is the voice inside my head.

The message of the quilt is a talking quilt. No further explanation necessary. I machine quilted it in a cross hatch pattern on my Janome sewing machine.

The back of the quilt is a teal star fabric. There is a hanging sleeve on the back for easy display and a label that documents the quilt.

I signed it on the front and added a charm that says “Sexy and Sixty.” Visit my “In the Moment in My Sixties” gallery on my web site to see all of my journal quilts.
