Each quarter, Curated Quilts host a challenge for a mini quilt - a selection of those submitted make it into the magazine. This quarter's challenge was "Well Said" - an opportunity to send a message with your quilt.
I love putting text on minis and have done it about a dozen times. After thinking about this challenge for awhile, I decided to go with this family friendly version of swearing! The inspiration comes from my weekly games of Pickleball with friends. When someone misses a particularly easy shot, it becomes a challenge to keep our language clean and we have come up with a bunch of different words to use instead!
The actual term for using symbols like this is grawlix. If you read through your Sunday comics, I imagine you'll see it more than once!
I'll be linking up here.
Have a wonderful day! Patty
I am really enjoying the creations for this challenge and the details behind each mini. I'm off to learn more about grawlix!
