Hey all, we shared this in our newsletter earlier but figured this would be relevant as well to everyone following us here.
Today is another day of learning for Christina and me.
We were talking with DeAndra - you may know her if you’ve ever called eQuilter - about why we have so much Scrabble fabric. She told us something neither of us knew: a few years ago, Jean Truelove used our Scrabble Letter Tiles fabric to create her beautiful Family Scrabble Letter Quilt.
Jean made a video showing how she created the quilt on her youtube channel, and one of the things that made it even more fun was discovering how she planned the crossword. She used BrightSprout's Crossword Puzzle Maker to work out the words and layout before turning it into a quilt. You enter your words, and the tool automatically arranges them into a crossword-style grid, which gave her a great starting point for creating her family quilt.
The idea is so simple, but the result is incredibly personal. You can build your own crossword around family names, important places, favorite words, inside jokes, or anything else that means something to you. Seeing Jean's quilt come together made me think this would be such a wonderful way to turn a collection of names and memories into something you can actually use and keep.
This was not something I knew I needed until I watched the video.
And now I really want to make one.
