playing with words

In a few days, Tonya Ricucci's Word Play Quilts book is coming out. She's been a great supporter and cheerleader of my work over the past few years, ever since I ventured to join her Winter class a few years back. I sweated over those letters, and I really felt pushed out of my comfort zone, but I love the quilt that resulted.
My letters were wonkier than wonky and I remember struggling with the e's, but it started my love of writing with fabric.

So I kept going. Here's my "To Be" quilt, using the repetitive element of B's and a fun play on words.

Those are fantastic! I especially like the Bs, bees, etc! What great inspiration....I think I'm going to have to try making some words of my own!

I had totally forgotten about your 'deep and crisp and even' quilt, but since I saw it I want to make a blue and white trees quilt for january/february . It captures the cold and dark season so very well
