In the August/September 2012 issue of Quilter’s Newsletter Magazine, there is an interesting article titled: “Quilt Combines Writing and Quilting”.
Joan Musick’s book “The Missing Flower Tops and the Midnight Snack” was the inspiration for a quilt.
Musick enjoys writing, and translating her love of writing into something visual, her love of quilting seemed logical.
“For many years, I worked on making quilts that I could sell but the money never equaled the materials, time and effort required, let alone the feeling of selling one of my ‘children’. At long last, with this culmination of a story written in fabric, I can have my quilt and sell it too”.
The quilt is adorable, and hopefully the author/quilter will do many more. Check out the rest of the story, and the wonderful photos.
