Word Play, Thanx to Tonya

Today is "International Tonya Ricucci Day"  because her book "Word Play" has been published TODAY by Martindale Press.

In 2009, Tonya blogged about making a "Four Letter Words" quilt.  She asked her readers to make a pieced word from fabric and send it to her.  I took the challenge and made:


And I had some bits and pieces left over, so kept finagling around with them to make letters.  Finally I made an "A" to complete:



Then Tonya said:  "And I'd like your name too."   So I made:



In 2010 Tonya again challenged her blog readers, this time to make a "liberated" Amish quilt and include some words.  I didn't finish by her deadline, but I completed:

Thanks Tonya!

[I hope Santa knows where to find your book 'cause I've asked for it!]

Wow, your lib Am quilt came out great. And I love your "sing" too - great fabric choice. It's so much fun to see all the "wordy" quilts showing up to celebrate Tonya and her book.
