A Word on the Journal Quilt Projecthttp://www.quiltingdaily.com/blogs/pokey/archive/2006/03/20/a-word-on-the-journal-quilt-project.aspxI&#39;ve held such hope to enter the Journal Quilt Project since it&#39;s inception in 2003. I&#39;m not alone. Every January the activity on the Quilt Art list surges as people like me who&#39;ve never formally entered a show, are excited at the thoughtenCommunityServer 2008.5 SP2 (Build: 40407.4157)<link>http://www.quiltingdaily.com/blogs/pokey/archive/2006/03/20/a-word-on-the-journal-quilt-project.aspx#2427</link><pubDate>Sat, 26 Apr 2008 20:42:11 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">dd4ad8cd-147d-404a-a568-5abd2115af5b:2427</guid><dc:creator>Melanie</dc:creator><description>I also had been longing to participate in the Journal Quilt Project and finally pulled myself together last year and got it done -- just in time for the journal project to halt. While I&#39;m intrigued (and motivated) by the theme presented for the new configuration of the JQP, and glad that it is continuing in some form, I am deeply sad that it is continuing without the very things that comprised its glory (that it was not juried, that there was no overarching theme). It was also useful to have this external goal -- get it done in time for Houston -- to support and encourage the exploration of personal goals (new themes in the work, new techinues or materials in the work). Not to mention how inspiring it was to see the range and variety of pieces that sprang from the simple premise of &quot;do something small, consistently.&quot; I understand that managing the ever-burgeoning flood of exhibits was becoming a Herculean task, but I can&#39;t help wishing that there had been a way to preserve the JQP&#39;s unique, and much-cherished, egalitarian qualities. <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://www.quiltingdaily.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=2427" width="1" height="1"></description></item><item><title /><link>http://www.quiltingdaily.com/blogs/pokey/archive/2006/03/20/a-word-on-the-journal-quilt-project.aspx#2428</link><pubDate>Wed, 23 Apr 2008 09:52:47 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">dd4ad8cd-147d-404a-a568-5abd2115af5b:2428</guid><dc:creator>Sharon Neth</dc:creator><description>Patricia, I am so sorry for not getting back to you sooner but I have been busy with family responsibilities. I saw my ATC&#39;s in the book and they look excellent! You out did yourself with this publication! All the cards look fantastic! I am proud to be a part of it all!

You&#39;ve taken a very big, important, first step--don&#39;t worry that you don&#39;t know how to use it yet. Just revel in the joy that this new addition to your household will become your new best friend very soon. In answer to B, I don&#39;t know how you got here, but glad you found me! and C, the pattern will be posted tomorrow (Thursday) when the website gets updated to reflect the new issue. All my best, Patricia <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://www.quiltingdaily.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=2429" width="1" height="1"></description></item><item><title /><link>http://www.quiltingdaily.com/blogs/pokey/archive/2006/03/20/a-word-on-the-journal-quilt-project.aspx#2430</link><pubDate>Wed, 28 Jun 2006 20:46:59 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">dd4ad8cd-147d-404a-a568-5abd2115af5b:2430</guid><dc:creator>Christi</dc:creator><description>I am in love with CPS - my only &quot;problem&quot; is I want MORE! I want it to be published daily - ok, I&#39;d settle for monthly. I am so inspired I actually bought a sewing machine! I have not a clue how to use it, and it hasn&#39;t gotten touched yet, but I got it! So, I am going nuts here trying to figure out if: A. this is the right place to post, B. how the heck I got here and C. where is the pattern for the &quot;Little Pink House of Cards&quot; from the Fall 2006 CPS issue? - thanks! <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://www.quiltingdaily.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=2430" width="1" height="1"></description></item><item><title /><link>http://www.quiltingdaily.com/blogs/pokey/archive/2006/03/20/a-word-on-the-journal-quilt-project.aspx#2431</link><pubDate>Wed, 19 Apr 2006 22:00:39 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">dd4ad8cd-147d-404a-a568-5abd2115af5b:2431</guid><dc:creator>Donna Funnell</dc:creator><description>Patricia, I just discovered the Journal Quilt project! I have really missed the boat! What a vehicle for learning! After looking at the ones on the website I decided to make my own journal for my own artistic development. I will share my journal with friends and artists that I meet with regularly. My first month&#39;s learning is a beaded goddess that I learned to do with a artist in my stitchery group. I hope to use lessons from Q&#39;Arts to develop my other pages. So even if I missed all the deadlines I will feel part of this wonderful idea for artistic expression! <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://www.quiltingdaily.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=2431" width="1" height="1"></description></item><item><title /><link>http://www.quiltingdaily.com/blogs/pokey/archive/2006/03/20/a-word-on-the-journal-quilt-project.aspx#2432</link><pubDate>Fri, 14 Apr 2006 17:55:50 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">dd4ad8cd-147d-404a-a568-5abd2115af5b:2432</guid><dc:creator>Patricia Bolton</dc:creator><description>Sharon, Do you mean &quot;make the cut&quot; for the book or Chicago?

I hope that other people will find them as interesting as my Senior Citizens did when I taught them how to make them?! I haven&#39;t heard from anyone if they made the cut?
