My Birthday Verbs

I have not forgotten my birthday quilt in which many of you were kind enough to participate. The quilt is not yet put together, but I am still working on making some words and will soon attempt to make it into a top. Here is what I laid out while working on more words at a recent retreat:

Some day this is going to be a gorgeous quilt! --carol E.

My Words So Far

I thought you'd like to see the words I have so far. I'm pretty sure this is all of them. I want to make a few more, then start playing with design. I love all my words! -- carol e.

A finish and introduction.

I've never made a post!  My name is Manda, and I love Tonya's book. I also host a "Word Play" bee over on Flickr. I just finished an I Spy quilt and wanted to share!  I had originally planned to piece the words in the front of the quilt like in the airplane quilt in the book, but once I got them finished, this idea came to me for the backing.  This is an "action" photo. My kids wanted to snuggle under it ;)

I need a name!

Hello fellow UnRulies!

I hope you all had a relaxing Memorial Day weekend. I have started a new wordy/unruly quilt and I need some help naming it. It was inspired by some fabric I hand dyed and then fell in love with. You can read all about it here if you would like but in the meantime here is a photo of the first four blocks.

The theme is Descriptive color words. Any ideas?

An Introduction :: Sunshine and Lemonade

Hi all!

I'm Jenny from Crafty Canary's Squawk, baby!  I'm a new member to this blog; and thought I'd put out a quick introduction of myself and a recent piece.  I've been a fan of Gwen Marston for a while and found Tonya's work by googling "liberated quilting" back in 2006 or earlier.  Even with being liberated, this was my first attempt at words in quilts.  Total love.

For 2011, I picked the word calm as the word I want to work on through my life and personality.  I picked golden yellow tones for this quilt to challenge myself with a monochromatic scheme.  Sunshine and Lemonade is a quilt that glows warm like taking a nap in the afternoon on a long summer day. 

The quilt is really not so slanty.  I was standing on the sofa trying to get a good picture.

I've got some border town houses to make soon!

Word Wall Hanging

I made this to hang in the bathroom at my church!
