| Inspiration comes in the strangest places... |
Looking at the titles and the stacks...I found myself wanting to make a book quilt.
I am thinking...a quilt with a border all the way around that has strips that I can sew the titles of books on...and make a little bookshelf as the border around my quilt. Something cute should be in the center. I am thinking I should try some applique in the middle...maybe characters from my daughters book.
Hmmm....Just an idea....
By the Way....the kids book "Big Red Apple" is completed illustrated by applique - it is a quilt that goes through the story. It is beautiful! SO cool!!
I love bookshelf quilts! I made a mini one as a sample for a paper pieced pattern I designed.
ReplyDeleteI am enjoying listening to your podcast! I've been quilting for over ten years now, and hearing your enthusiasm reminds me of my journey when I was first learning to quilt. I can totally relate to being a mom of young ones, and getting over the bumps in the road along the way. Looking forward to hearing more about your quilting.

I love your idea. So many memories come back when seeing the titles of books read when we were young. This will make a great quilt to have later in life to remind you of childhood delights.
