Mary I – Blackwork on linen, period woodcuts (of young QE before her sister Mary) & also Traitor Gate printed onto silk; embroidered and beaded. Cropped the scary Mary face, and used old cross from necklace. Mary often shown holding cord with book or medallion at end, so turned that into puppet strings for E in the Tower of London.

In 2006, the organisers of the Journal Quilt Project decided to make a book about the process. Participants were invited to enter a certain number of pages they had shown according to the number of years they participated. This page of my journal quilts was chosen to be included as a full page spread in the book called "Creative Quilting". You can see the book at: http://www.quiltingarts.com/
