As you all know by know I have a dilemma that I will have to struggle with for probably the rest of this year. It dawned on me that I have a box of experiments and quilt squares that I did not want to make a quilt out of that I could make good use of, solving the sewing problem. I did not get to make a quilt for my own word Comfort and I had the perfect quilt square in the discard box, chicken soup. It hit me when I was having a bowl after my trip to the hospital last week. Doctor's have found that it can actually have some benefit, whether it is the ingredients or it is psychological who knows and who cares. When I'm sick I want chicken soup and Vicks Vapo Rub. I'm not sure it does anything but that is what grandma always did and somehow it makes me feel better!
[Note from Alice: Janet sent this to me for me to post, because of her inability to use her left arm and hand--thus typing is hard for her!]
Janet, what a perfect quilt for "your" theme word. We all know the benefits of chicken soup, and it is so much fun to see such a clever and amusing depiction of chicken soup!
ReplyDeleteThis is just too cute!! Love your whimsical depiction of the perfect comfort food!
ReplyDeleteLove it! I never seem to embrace the whimsy when quilting, but I love seeing it. Thanks so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome! Your work is just fun, fun, fun!
ReplyDeleteI love this interpretation of the theme of comfort - chicken soup was the ultimate cure-all in my family and your depiction if delightfully whimsical. So glad your are persevering.
ReplyDeleteI too look to chicken soup to cure whatever is ailing me. And your interpretation is whimsical and so much fun. IT is the ultimate comfort food, and your quilt makes me feel better just looking at it!!!! You are in our thoughts!!!
ReplyDeleteVery clever Janet. This is a very creative and fun quilt!
ReplyDeleteI just love your quilt. The chicken is wonderful. Such great colors.
ReplyDeleteGiggle, giggle, giggle! The way you create even a simple bowl of chicken soup is awesome! The color, composition and giggle scale are perfect.
ReplyDeleteUntil I can sew again, probably six more months I am going to have to get really creative. You know I have that discard box that I can't get rid of because I just keep thinking how much the fabric cost (my grandmother lives in my head).
