Please Send Me a Verb
I hope it's OK to beg for blocks... this month I'm turning 60 (eek!) and in celebration I decided to aim for making a big quilt of words -- verbs, to be exact. If you want to, would you be willing to send me a verb? I want them, like these examples, done in brights on black OR black on brights. Both ways would be fine and dandy. I have come up with a list of verbs that I would like on my quilt. You could pick one off my list and make it and send it to me.... IF YOU WANT TO. You could make up a verb of your own, too, if you think of a good, positive one. It could be any size. I plan to keep working away on words and hope to have this quilt done in time for my 61st birthday, but if it can be done more quickly, hey! Bonus!
Adore, Befriend, Care, Cherish, Create, Design, Discover, Draw, Dream, Eat, Engage, Explore, Feel, Find, Give, Hug, Joke, Jump, Kiss, Knit, Laugh, Listen, Look, Love, Nurture, Observe, Play, Ponder, Quilt, Read, See, Sew, Share, Sing, Sleep, Smile, Talk, Think, Travel, Walk, Worship, Write
I'm picturing some of these made with their own fabrics, like Eat could be made using food fabrics. If I get duplicates, that's no problem. For example, you just can't say "read" too many times. If you want to play along and share a block with me, cool. If not, that's cool, too. I plan to have fun making verbs this year... a good way to celebrate turning 60.

I'm in too.
Please, send me your address...I don't know the word, yet.
Sew I'll pick sew.
Tonya, any size, yes, but I really don't want enormous ones. Just normal, average sizes are what I have in mind. Thanks.
Thank you to so many who have offered to send me a verb!! I'm humbled and excited!
also, Happy 60th to those who are joining me in the new decade. We'll make it great, right?!
I had my 60th a few months ago, and was kind of excited when I got to use my senior discount for the first time to get into a movie the other night.
Cool idea for a quilt!
I got one all ready for ya :0)
where do I send it?
I'll be 60 the first week of 2013.....time flies when your quilting ;0)
Happy Sewing
Such a fun idea! I turn 30 in the fall and just might have to make one myself. Although my verbs would be more about changing diapers and pushing swings! Good luck, I hope you get plenty of verbs.
I think I have sent my address to everyone who needs it. Correct? Let me know if you did not get my address and you have a verb waiting for me! I'm happy to have so many verbs to look forward to! Thanks, everyone!
I am a quilter from Germany and have just purchased Tonya´s book about how to make unruly letters. I posted my first word to Tonya´s facebook page 2 days ago, have a look. I need to practise more. Would you like to get a word block from Germany? If so, please send me your address via e-mail to "sigrid1212(at)gmx.de".
Greetings from Bonn/Germany from Sigrid
