...Mmmm ... well-crafted prose to match the quilt. <br /><br />It seems that thereʻs a curious meandering on how a quilt gives birth to its name. For me, once the top is done, and Iʻm hand-quilting -- itʻs a very intimate time, whereby an assortment of connections arise for consideration. The activity is very contemplative, therefore the result, e.g. itʻs name, is also more contemplative than contrived.<br /><br />Itʻs a privilege to wander into your blogsite.Nyimahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00407823965011972523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2244865727892186735.post-51369362722407411822011-07-01T20:18:01.859-04:002011-07-01T20:18:01.859-04:00I often wonder about the names people give their q...I often wonder about the names people give their quilts.

I recently bought some thrift shop shirts for a quilt. Two of them were really lovely fabric (why are mens shirts always nicer than that they use for ladies?)so I rolled the sleeves up a little and tried them on...they look great (relaxed summer jacket!) with jeans & tee. Now only the boring ones are left for my quilt!CharlottePhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16693808113369554138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2244865727892186735.post-68049561841639710922011-06-23T09:15:56.415-04:002011-06-23T09:15:56.415-04:00The story of this quilt touched me Sujata and it p...The story of this quilt touched me Sujata and it proves that time to quilt may be, sometimes, emotionally healing.

It's just amazing how a group of women with such differing quilting styles can come together as friends and at the same time, admire each other's work.
