ok (leaving J's post in seeing as Di didn't get it) - now I have to think
bout this The real me quilts usually have black backgrounds although some have other colours (usually solids though) and bright colours that stand out more cos of the black. Sometimes the backgrounds seem to overwhelm the quilts (to some people anyways) and I s'pose that's the part that shows what people usually see of me - conservative and boring - but then the colour jumps out and whacks you when you're not expecting it - just like me stirring up trouble when people least expect it. I s'pose the shapes (usually diamonds and hexagons and occasionally interlocking circle shapes) show my more logical and analytical side - takes a few close inspections to see the smaller shapes making up the larger obvious shapes. ohhh .. and the black backgrounds don't show the quilt inspector's trail (black poodle hair) so that's the practical side of me. And my kaleidoscope keeps screaming at me to finish it cos it's decided on it's own name (will be my first quilt with a name) and wants to be introduced into society as soon as possible. (show off that it is) cas "Jalynne" wrote in message link.net... At first glance, one would think that the quilts i make for myself (which no one has actually seen yet, since they're either in the works or design phase) are plain and boring, but when you look closer, you can see that there is much more than meets the eye at first glance. I'm a lot like that. Full of character and fun. I'm simple, yet complex. I am conservative and traditional, but like the occasional splash of the unexpected. The quilts i make for others say something about me, too. It says that I love them so much, that I will set aside my personal preferences to make something that I know they will cherish. Is that was you were getting at, Di? -- Jalynne - Keeper of the Quilt for ME club list Queen Gypsy (snail mail available upon request) see what i've been up to at www.100megsfree4.com/jalynne "Diana Curtis" wrote in message ...

My quilts would say:
"You know, Mom really can't make up her mind what she likes! First, she has this beautiful whole cloth quilt on her bed that she adores, then she has this sampler in repro fabrics, both (sampler pattern and repro fabrics) something that she said she couldn't stand at one time, and now it's her favourite quilt. Go figure. But, seriously, Mom prefers the quilts that show off her handquilting so that would mean the wholecloth and her beloved tulip quilt. Personally, I think Mom has lost it though.... she's collecting as many brights as she can for this new project she has in her head. I'm really nervous about what she's planning.....I mean, you should see that baby quilt she just sent off to someone. She should have written a warning label on the package to wear sunglasses before opening. I mean really! Orange and yellow and neon green.. .. on a baby quilt? What was she thinking?? Ok, I know babies like bright colours, but I thought Mom lost it for sure on that one....." Yeah, that's what my quilts would say about me, I think. ;-) Marijke, in freezing Montreal to see some of my quilts (fortunately, you *can't* hear them!) click he http://photos.yahoo.com/sesesi "Diana Curtis" wrote in message ...

LN, I'm curious... has your begging ever resulted in anyone sending you a quilt? Kelly Beaverton, OR Yes - it was called The beggar's Quilt, and somewhere on this machine is a picture I must post!

I always thought of myself as a traditional quilter, but
lately it's changed. I find myself drawn to dark quilts with tiny splashes of bright color. Hmm, wonder what this means. -- Bonnie, the Quilt Lady NJ |
I like the concept of you being mother to your quilts. They must be
teenagers, cause they arent short on opinions about you !! lol Diana -- Queen of FAQs Royal Peace Maker http://photos.yahoo.com/lunamom44 "Marijke" wrote in message ...

Perhaps that you are growing as a person and a quilter?

In every quilt you make, even if it is for someone else it has part of you
in it. So, maybe your quilts say you are a kind, giving person? Diana -- Queen of FAQs Royal Peace Maker http://photos.yahoo.com/lunamom44 "dogsnus" wrote in message ... "Diana Curtis" wrote in : If your quilts could talk, what would they say about your personality? They'd say, "Finish me"! You know? With the exception of the one I started to make for myself, I don't feel any of my personality is reflected in them. I made them for others, and I'm the kind of person who sets aside my dislikes of something and makes or gives that person what they_ like instead of what I'd like to give them. And, even the quilt I started for myself was dictated by the fabric I had on hand. In my mind's eye, however, I see a quilt with my personality in it. I see pastel shades in rows that move over each row by one, in entirely solid colors, no prints. I also see one of those GSD wall hangings. Someday... Terri |
Send one to me. Perhaps they are just being shy in front of you ;-)
