I love doing these journal quilts - what a wonderful way to try new techniques. For "I've Got Lips" above I first did a pieced background and quilted it. Then I drew and cut out appliques of various "lips" - with a variety of pink and red fabrics. (I had to add paint to get the right color a couple of times) I looked for as many "lip" quotes as I could find and printed them out in various fonts using ExtravOrganza in my inkjet printer. I then cut out the sayings, frayed the edges and painted each one using a fabric marker. I adhered them to the quilt with a clear fabric glue.
