On this dreary, overcast day, a spot of sunshine has arrived in my e-mail. Guila Greer of Tarzana, California has shared two small quilts that she designed. The first one is called, “I’ve Got Lips.” On it she features the words, “Stiff Upper Lip,” “Lip Service,” “Read My Lips,” “My Lips are Sealed,” Loose Lips Sink Ships,” “Tight Lipped,” “Hot Lips,” and “Does a Chicken Have Lips?”.
The artist says, “I wanted to see just how many different sets of lips I could gracefully fit into the space AND have them say something appropriate. The problem of how to apply the words was solved with Extravorganza. “I’ve Got Lips” was a fun one to do.”
The second quilt was made as a gift to her yoga teacher and has the words heard in class, “So,” “Hum,” and “Shanti.” She states, “In this case the words may or may not have been needed. However I added them because they were very specific to the routines of our particular class and therefore meaningful to the teacher.”
Many thanks to Guila for sending photos of her work!
