In Your Words


First I would like to thank the ingenious Mdm Samm for this inspirational theme and  our lovely host and head cheerleader, Linda .  I share the day with these wonderful word players and I hope you take the time to visit everyone:
 
 
IN MY OWN WORDS
 
 
 
I knew immediately what I wanted to do with this project as it was something already on my mind.  A project that was a mix of words and fabrics that was me, in my own words.  The faithful tiny scraps that I so love to play with and the challenge of working from just 'that special scrap drawer'.
 
 
Selecting a block that I love to make with this mixture of scrappy fun - the framed floating star.  I wanted the centers to be my focal of the growing list of words that were formulating as I went from fabric to machine - yes, not a word or two, but a list of words!
 
 
How quickly those stars and words piled up and there was an urgency.  In the middle of all this was the horrid news of Sandy Hook.  It made the need for this project to come to fullfillment on a more personal level.  And I mini stippled all those stars with that word list at my side and so many thoughts in my head.
 
 
 
Even when my faithful helper decided this was a good napping spot in the middle of free-motion quilting all those words into the sashings - it did not matter to me.  I think my sweet Bella sensed what was emoting from me - my medicine pet that she is.  She made me take a break, to breath, to calm.  And it didn't matter that those words were a bit wobbly - my hand writing is a bit demented anyway - but I filled all those sashings with those special words that were my family, me, home, and life.
 
 
Of course, I love to use something a little more untraditional for binding.  Polka dots, stripes, plaids are all fun, but I wanted something special to go with the 'In My Own Words' quilt.
 
 
 
FRIENDSHIP - CROSS STITCH - OUTDOORS - APPLE ORCHARD - GRANDCHILDREN - COWS - QUILTING -  KITTIES 
 
 
COFFEE - SPORTS - BIRDS - CAMPING - CHICKENS - FISHING - THREADS - BUTTERFLIES - FLOWERS - BUTTONS
 
 
 
SCOUTING - DUTCH - HERITAGE - BIRD HOUSES - QUILT LANE - DRAGONFLIES - HIKING - FAMILY - LAUGHTER - NANA (my name)
 
 
 
PINETREES - SUNFLOWERS - HORSES - ATHLETE - BRICK HOUSE - BLUE -
FARM - LILACS- SKIPPER (farm dog)
 


 
 
GOOD LUCK - PLAIDS - BASKETS - CUPS - NATURE - SUNSHINE - APPLES - CHILDREN - POLKA DOTS - MEMORIES (quilt date)
 
 
 
 
Yes, a quilt evolved that was a need to express myself .  Not a lot know but I have a grand daughter that I don't get to see very often.  With the Holidays in bloom, my Mom's health scare,  and then a disaster thrown in - I have wanted to make a 'memory' quilt that will be saved for her.  (No I am not ill - just that the year 2013 is the year of the BIG 60 and that is a bit of a scare.)  When she is old enough, a gift to share a part of something missed over  time.  My daughter is going to hold this for Lily's 16th birthday and share the story of it.  
 
 
 
Thank you for letting me share my WORDS - maybe there is a word quilt inside you.
 
 
 
GIVEAWAY - I have a layercake of 'Noteworthy' by SweetWater for Moda.  Simply leave a comment and be sure I have a way of contacting you. I will ship international.  Comments will be left open until Midnight (EST) Jan. 16th (Weds.) and the winner announced the next day.

 

Sewingly Yours,
Sharon

This was a very special post and a very special word project!! You should start a diary to go with it maybe not daily but important thoughts over the next years, favorite books, music, movies, recipes, jokes, let her see all of you since your time is limited. We have a grandson like that, I understand!

Your memory quilt brought tears to my eyes. What a very special idea you had to stitch your heart into a quilt for your granddaughter. Btw, it is lovely with all those treasured scraps.
And don't worry about the number of years, it is what you do with them. I am beyond you and I just want to make it all count. You have.

Oh, I'm totally with you on the quilt therapy when times are tough and our hearts are hurting.

But what a special memento for Lily. I know she will love when YOU give it to her and explain what it means, and then she will one day be able to share it with her children and grandchildren.

I love things that give me a glimpse into my parents or grandparents when they were young. What a treasure!

KatieQ said...

This quilt is a wonderful way to reach across time to your grand daughter. Being able to quilt the words that are important to you was a great way to find an emotional release.
Turning 60 was a wake up call for me. Although I didn't feel any older, I became more conscious of time.

From another Sharon, I have made a word quilt. I made it while healing from 9/11. I used all the President's sayings in his uplifting speeches in the days following the tragedy. And Sandy was a different sort of tragedy.

LJ said...

What a lovely quilt and what a lovely story. Therapy comes in many ways and quilters find it comes with sewing. Happy a great 2013!
