word play

Hooray!  Tonya's book has been released! 


She inspired me to add free pieced letters to this liberated house quilt that I made several years ago.  I still love this quilt and all the funky houses it contains.  It has bird houses, an out house, a snowed-in house and even a boy scout pup tent.



The letters were challenging for me but really fun and add a great border element to this quilt.  I'm hoping to get better with the help of her new book.


Congrats to you Tonya!  You are a real pioneer and an inspiration to us all.

Love your quilt!!!

She is such an inspiration to us. One of my favourite quilts is my WINTER one that I made with her on-line challenge and am eager to get it hung up shortly after New Year's Eve.

I love words on quilts too, but I never think to add them to mine.
I am working on a swap block quilt right now and I think I will add some wordds to it.
Can't wait to see that book./

What a wonderful, fun quilt! I love it! And great words. I love all the fun houses.

It's so much fun to surf all the blogs linked to Tonya's to see all the wordy goodness that people have created with Tonya's inspiration. Thank you for sharing yours!

Oooh, I LOVE your house quilt! I love the wonky letters too. I never remember to add them to a quilt. I put a wonky year in a border years ago after a trip to the Beaver Island Retreat, but haven't done one since. Thanks for the great reminder!
