Words on Textiles

Saturday, August 21st, 2010

I love words! No doubt about it! I really like textiles that have words whether they are printed, painted, assembled with buttons that have letters, monogrammed, in Calligraphy, silk screened, flocked, stenciled or embroidered. Did I miss anything?

“Twinkle, twinkle little star [...].”

Do you have any quilts or embroidered items or any other textiles, with words? Or, have you seen any antique examples? I have seen a number of these types of textiles. One of them was a Crazy Quilt that had lines of the Lord’s Prayer, all over its top surface?

I am curious. If you are “game,” let’s have fun comparing notes. Please send a description and photo of your item(s). In the meantime, I will look around and see what information I can find about this topic. Send any information to: pat@quiltersmuse.com Thanks! If I can gather enough interesting information, I will publish it in a file on my website for all to enjoy.
