I have a wall hanging and I'm giving to a friend. It is a special friend, and I want to convey that. We have known each other since we were in Middle School, so it's been a looooooooooong friendship. It's also romantic, so I need something good. I already considered "reunion" but decided against that word. Too cliche...

so, ideas??

I might be early on this do you have a picture?

sharon b 02-20-2011 10:45 PM

Pics would help greatly- but what about - Remember when ? Thank you for being a friend ? Memories ?

Esqmommy 02-20-2011 11:03 PM

I just spoke with him and he said it reminds him of stars/sky/night sky...

I will post as soon as I can. It's made from the same blocks as a quilt I made some time ago. I will look for the link and post it. Only now it's 4 of the circle blocks.

Esqmommy 02-20-2011 11:06 PM

Here is the large version. Imagine just 4 blocks...

I suggest: Déjà vu

pictures? it is kind of impossible to name a quilt without seeing the quilt, the names usually 'go-with-the quilt' in some way be it personal or not

Sweet memories?

I made my best friend a rail fence quilt and wanted to name it as well. We have been friends since we were 15 and we are both 55 now. I named it 'Tried but True', and felt that not only descirbed the quilt pattern but our friendship as well. She is the only one I would make a king sized quilt for w/matching shams. Last year I made her a shades of red Sawtooth Star with matching pillowcases.
That one was simply titled 'You are a Shining Star'.

To the moon and back (reference to book "I love you to the moon" can be taken or not).

Oh yes - I like that! :-D

Esqmommy 02-21-2011 10:00 AM

I'm liking the infinite idea, and the moon...hmmmmm....

Esqmommy 02-21-2011 10:02 AM

"Gravitational Pull" ???? Sort too weird, esoteric?

tellabella 02-23-2011 08:07 PM

How about naming it in Italian...so romantic... you did want something a little romantic...

Cielo... is sky
Notte... is night
stelle... is stars
luna is moon...
per sempre...forever
infiniti...infiinite

I like Cielo di notte...Night sky...or just Cielo...because cielo also refers to "Heaven"...and that can imply how you feel about your relationship...

MadQuilter 02-23-2011 08:10 PM

Circles of love across time. Sorry no idea about the night.

How about The Never Ending Circle of Love/Friendship.

Yes...the translation of Cielo..is the sky, Heaven, when someone says..grazie al cielo..it translates as thank Heavens...but il cielo di notte can also translate and the evening sky...so you are incorporating Sky/Heaven and Night...all in one....it can refer to your "evenings...that are like "Heaven"..can't get any more romantic than that.....

Let us know what you finally decide, Esq

BTW, I like the quilt in your avatar...what is the pattern...(and I also like the quilt for your fried...)

Esqmommy 02-24-2011 06:59 PM

Hello Tella - thanks for all the info. I really like "il cielo di notte" and I may go with that...heavenly nights, right? That would be perfecto!

My avatar is my Indian Orange Peel that I completed in October, but finally just put the sleeve on and hung. It look like a year to make, and it was a labor of love. I did NOT quilt it, I paid a pro to do it for me. The pattern is in one of Karen Stone's books...she did it in autumn type colors, hence the name Indian Orange Peel. I think I need to re-name this girl - I'm thinking something like "SHUT UP" LOL!!!

You know, translation is tricky........Il Cielo di Notte...is more like "Night Sky" or "Heaven" as in a noun, not an adjectives


if you want to say "Heavenly Nights" the literal translation would more accurately be "celeste notti", the word "celeste" ...meaning celestial, or Heavenly

...but in MHO even better is ...Notti(plural) in Cielo....Nights in Heaven...(or Notte (singular) in Cielo, Night in Heaven -or less literally, Heavenly Night(s).....really the best title for what you want to say...

sorry about me going on and on...I was a language major and the translation stuff is so tricky because you can't always translate word for word etc, as you probably know..

Ok, why "SHUT UP"...that cracked me up...you know I want to see your Dear Jane quilt too...I started one about a month ago ...I had started to read all the Dear Jane stuff, and I was finding it so great to follow everyone's progress, and I felt like I was getting to know everyone...then Klue left and it sort of left me hanging...I still plan to read many more posts...there is so much on there...where do you get the time to make all these beauties..you are whipping them out fast...you go girl!
