Just one month to go! I have a name for my HARMONY quilt, and I hope that you will be naming yours as well. Just include the word, harmony, in your title. It will be so much fun to see how different all of the quilts are.
I am just getting started on mine, although the "design" was completed a while back. I have been busy making small wall quilts for classmates who will be attending my nursing class 51st reunion (am I that old?) in Boston in just a few days.
I'll post again on September 15th! See all of you then.
What a great idea to name each of our quilts. Mine is designed but the construction has not begun. The final version finally came together last week.
ReplyDeleteI've got mine designed as well and it is even partially sewn, but only partially. I do love the idea of naming each of our theme quilts and including harmony in its name. Too, be sure when you do pose to put YOUR name first, as in "Alice's Quilt: ___________ Harmony". Then the picture. Then a brief description of how you came to chose that design. Perhaps a bit about construction, but I think I'll strive to be brief, with so many of us reporting. And then in a few days, I'll post again and include the "in process" pictures and a bit more detail about construction. If I do end up posting the one I am working on now, though, its construction is so simple that my process description won't be all that long.
ReplyDeleteHmmm. What if another name doesn't come to us? I usually struggle with naming quilts. I love it when I go see art and artists like Georgia O'Keefe name their painting "Dead Rabbit":) and that is what is in it. I guess if you don't expect too much from my title it will be ok. You guys are really trying to challenge me aren't you.
ReplyDeleteI would guess when she said just include the word "harmony" in the title, that was enough...you could add to or not.
ReplyDeleteCome to think of it, maybe what Carolyn meant was to include Harmony in the title of the post! THAT would appeal more to me! So we could title our posts something like "Alice's Harmony Quilt--_____________" and then put its name, if we can think of one. Otherwise, it's simply the harmony quilt! I have always named my quilts, from the 2nd one I ever made, which was a daughter's wedding quilt. Didn't name my #1 quilt of the early 90s, which was a log cabin, and which was made before I became aware that many quilters did name their quilts. (I hadn't ever been to a quilt show at that point!)
ReplyDeleteCarolyn, I guess you will have to spell it out as to what you meant by naming the quilts with Harmony in the name. I envisioned that to mean something such as "Nature's Harmony" or the "Harmony of Color" or........
ReplyDeleteYou just spelled it out, Rita. That's EXACTLY what I'm suggesting - a name for your 12 x 12 harmony quilt that explains why you chose the design you came up with. Harmony, of course, will be a component of the title .... like the two you suggested, or such as "Musical Harmony" or "Harmony of Life" or ???
ReplyDeleteWow - I've been thinking of harmony on several levels - the name is going to be another challenge! But then again I usually don't shy away from challenges
