Around the same time, I used up lots and lots of bits and pieces from my mom to make this quilt for my children's elementary school teacher, whose name is Sid. I showed off my skill at capital letters here.

More play with words
Only a few more days until Tonya Ricucci's book Word Play Quilts is released by Martingdale Books, so I'm showing you more work influenced by her. This one was made for Lazy Gal's House and Home and Pantry challenge two years ago. I combined words with wonky houses and trees for a quilt for my teenage son, called Advice from Home, because it contains all those reminders I said every day as he grew up. (I'm embarrassed to say it is not quilted yet, but my new machine is waiting to have a go!)

wonderful quilts that each have a story!
What I'm loving about the build up to publication date is going round everyone's blogs and seeing old favourites. Love Advice from Home.
I love both quilts! Get that first one quilted! It's amazing.
I love, love, LOVE the house and words quilt. I love your letters. I love the way they bounce around and have such energy!
Gaaaahh! I have Tonya's book on my xmas wish list and you're making me want it RIGHT NOW! I love your quilts. Phrases and words really make a quilt special. I'm getting ideas right and left.
I love the quilt. Fun words to put on it and make it even more meaningful. Can't wait for my very own copy.. I missed out on the instructions.. wasn't a blogger then. I am so glad her book is coming out!
Love the quilts :)
Really love those quilts! The combination of houses, trees, and words are just fantastic!!
Oh my I love those. The star one I especially favor.
That kid's quilt is wonderful. I wish I had been quilting when my children left for college, I would love to have sent that with them.
