Lately I have been making letters for a special project. Above are some I made recently. They are fun to make and you can spell all kinds of things with them.
Here are some words I made just playing around. You can spell all kinds of words. I used the book Word Play Quilts by Tonya Rucci to make these blocks. I ended it making a special quilt out of these letters.
Here is the special project I made out of these letters. This picture was taken before it was quilted. With all the rain I couldn't get a picture taken now that it is finished. Karen Wegener of Lamar quilted it for me and she did a wonderful job. I am planning on entering it in The Little Balkans Quilt Show labor day weekend, so if you want to see it in person - Come to the quilt show! I made farmer's daughters blocks for two of the corners and coal buckets for the other two. I know they don't look much like coal buckets but I did the best that I could. It was fun to make. The only problem that you have to be careful when you put it together because it is really easy to get the letters switched . I did that on a different quilt and had to do a lot of ripping out to fix it. When I showed it to Jeff he told me I spelled Buckets wrong. I quickly checked because I was paranoid that I would do that. Thank God he was just joking!
