A signature block, to me, is one of the most personal things that is part of my quilts as are many others. This block can contain the person to whom it has been made for, the occasion, or simply a small signature stating possible the name of the quilt, i.e. "blocks for baby", it can be a very beautiful block in flawing with the quilt it self, or a small but neat little signature as I know several quilters that do a lot of personal work have their signature name with a little doddle or heart or whatever. It is their personal signature. So, for me, and I will admit it out loud as I am no longer embarrassed by it, am not well and in addition to other problems left from brain surgery - twice - there are many things I forget or even something so simple as signing the back of a quilt. To me, what little that I can do, I am proud enough of it, mistakes and all, to want the name of the quilt and that, with all the love I have in making, want my name to be own. Heck I could probably call half of my quilts, Ms Claire's guessing game.. count how mistakes you can find before lights out... it is all in the way you want to identify what you have done to whom you have either "done" to. (grin) or whom you have given it to in love.
made with love,
Claire
