Karen's "If you MOUSTACHE.....

I went to my niece for pun ideas. She loves them and has a bunch of magnets on her fridge with all kinds of puns. Then I remembered she had the ultimate pun. A picture of her girls wearing one!!

Keira and Maura rocking their tee's!! (and their little socks I made)

I made a little quilt for them to lay on made out of leftover squares that I stitched into strips, re-cut and re-sewed. I used Printed Treasures for their picture then echo quilted around them.

Love the pun! With outfits too. The girls are adorable also. The quilt is wonderful. I'd love a large one.

Karen, I think you take the prize for the most unusual pun! Well no. You and Rita! I had to read it aloud several times before getting it!!!! The way you made that background was so neat too. I want to try that!

I FINALLY got the Pun ! Had to read it several times, say it out loud, then actually look at the word and twist the pronunciation around in my mind !

I love the combination of wonderful memory and color - that is one terrific background and of course adorable babies. Oddly enough when I first saw this image, before I enlarged enough to see the writing on the shirts, I saw a different pun but then again I've been dubbed "stash queen" and all those wonderful fabrics had caught my eye.

This is a really clever...like a few others, took a couple for minutes to "get", but once I did, had a good giggle!

THE MATERIAL MAVENS

We are a group of art quilters who come from various parts of the United States, from the East coast and then south to Arkansas and Texas. We were inspired by the original Twelve by Twelve international art quilting group.

Beginning in September, 2011, we started posting our 12"x 12" art quilts, which were based on themes chosen in turn by our members. For Round One, we posted quilts every two months, always on the 15th of the designated months.

Round Two of The Material Mavens began in October, 2014. Some changes were made: quilts were posted every three months, and the quilts could be be either 12"x 12" or rectangular ones measuring 11" x 14", either horizontal or vertical in orientation.

Round Three of The Material Mavens began in July, 2018. Again, changes have been made. Now those members who wish to stay affiliated with the group are free to post quilts every time or every now and then. Two, our blog administrator collected suggested themes from the members who wanted to remain affiliated. These themes were then pulled at random from a "hat," and they were then assigned in order for the posting dates. Since we had 13 members who wanted to remain, we will be posting quilts every 3 months until 2021! This date is significant and appropriate, because 2021 will be the 10th year that our group has been in existence.
