Carol's Word Quilt and Giveaway!


Carol E. is making a word quilt. She has a few more words to go, then she's going to arrange them. Carol's blog is Giraffe Dreams. She has lots of good quilt photos there, and some book reviews as well.
"Sleep" is a good word for a bed quilt, right? 
***
If you haven't seen Tonya Ricucci's book Word Play Quilts, take a look. I made the word "Give" shown on the front cover, bottom row.

    A word quilt sounds like a great idea. I've noticed though that the words Inspire and Create are missing.

    Sleep is a great word - Carol could add 'tight' or 'yes please' as per Shirley's suggestion!!

    It is so funny to see this post. It is an awesome quilt and I just went to Cobb county quilt show on Friday. There were 4 word quilts in the show and they were all different and I loved them.

    Word quilts are so fun!! You can change up the words to "match" the recipient. While these words would be great for our daughter, I would need words like "sports," "football," "play," etc for our son. :o)

    I have been using Tonya's guidance to put names on quilts. I make the name as part of the design and I love the look of it. Talk about making a quilt personal!
