I’m featured on the Janome Life blog this month – check it out.
My two entries for the Quilting Arts “Text Me!” reader challenge are finished and submitted. They are each 8 x 8 inches, so I thought a really narrow binding would look best. I cut a strip 7/8″ wide and fused a 1/2″ strip of Steam a Seam along one edge. I sewed the binding to the front of the quilt with an 1/8″ seam, turned it to the back and fused it in place. It worked really well.

I like your umbrella people!
Very clever interpretations of the brief. Well done. I love the way the text slants, and the orange umbrella pushing into the rain.
They are both great blocks. Love the one with the umbrellas!
I admire your work. It is inspiration to me!
I like the umbrella piece!
I’m in awe
Love the one with the umbrellas and the way it looks like the words are sleeting down across them.
I really, really like your punctuation block! So fun to look at!
I love these…very interesting.
Great minis. I love the symbols. It is a bit different.
I love the mini quilts. Always like your umbrella works but I love the punctuation one too 🙂
Your quilts are awesome. And it’s actually raining in one of them, amazing.
Love the way the white text on the umbrella people is perfectly matched to the black text of the background. Nice pieces!
I love your work! These are lovely.
So great, Terry – these minis (and your wonderful interpretation of the theme) and your Janome Life feature!
They’re both lovely, but I especially love the one with the umbrellas, such great impact from the hunched shoulders and hidden faces. I immediately get the sense that we’re all being deluged by transient discrete text messages without meaningful underlying content and that this focus and deluge are cutting us off from real communication with those around us. Fabulous!
ohhh lovely – and yes it does look like our text happy society!
