Quilts can Speak

Good Morning, Quilters!

I believe that quilts that tell a story are more likely to be cherished by our family and friends and consequently, more likely to stand the test of time..(as in not become a painter’s drop cloth–read more HERE)

So how do we communicate The Story?

Let’s brainstorm ideas today!

We can leave messages in the machine quilting…(See Pat’s Quilt HERE) or Henry’s Quilt HERE

Labels can include more than just the quilter’s name, date and home town…

Quilts can Speak

ENRICHING THE STORY

The colors we choose,

The patterns we design,

The machine quilting motifs we stitch

all help Tell the Story…

What about YOU?

What techniques have YOU used in YOUR quilts to Sing YOUR song?

We’d LOVE to hear YOUR STORY!
