Theme: WHAT’S THE WORD?
Host: Ann Turley,

Create a quilt that illustrates a word and a letter of the alphabet.
Think outside the realms of normal with subtlety, whimsy, or emotion. For example, when you think of the letter
“A”, the image most of us see is of an apple. Go beyond that, thinking of
nouns, verbs and adjectives. For example, I might want to find an interesting
way to portray an arpeggio – a quick succession of musical notes. Or perhaps I
may want to find an emotion and a letter match. Think “F” is for fear – how
would you work with that imagery? Lastly, add a bit of relevant text to your
quilt. This could be a subtle as repeating your chosen letter in the shadows,
or as in-your-face as a large block print in a corner. Maybe a bit of poetry that speaks of your
image could be used. Whatever you decide, make it yours and make it personal to
you.
This is one that I made that illustrates the idea, entitled
Pea Pod Soup (the words are there, on the right, if you look closely):

Hexagons, music and text
A collection of paper-pieced blocks that get my idea
across better that I ever could!

This one could easily illustrate an emotion:
In my opinion, Susan Shie is amongst the best at adding
text to her pieces:
So have fun, don’t over-think your quilt, just do it!
