Putting this up top so folks will see it: the random number generator spit out lucky number 13. Liberty Love goes to (link-less) Jessie!
Do please continue to donate some relationship verbs over here. I’ll show you what I am doing with them later in the week.

Now…how about a newly-finished quilt?
Or not? I won’t go into the reasons here or ever, but this is still unfinished. Despite the finished appearance on the bed below, there is work—lots of work—to do to make it a structurally-sound quilt. And I might end up abandoning it altogether.
Without ado…
Disclaimer: If you don’t appreciate the use of the full English language, then I suggest you look away. Return later in the week for more of that baby or whatever.

Are you sure? Would you prefer a baby panda instead?

I have few words this morning. But I do have one word.
Upon seeing the f*ck quilts, a friend—a professional artist—double-dog dared me to use this word instead. Since I’d already quilted up this word and many more, it took very little nudging to get me to do this and it certainly didn’t merit the breach of dog-dare etiquette.
Slow down. Calm down. I don’t utter this word. But the quilt now does that for me.
Have a great week!
Fantastic!!!
what purple bliss! This definitely made my day!
You are hilarious! Your c##t is lovely! LOL!
I’m a little surprised at my reaction to this. F*ck doesn’t bother me at all – I use the word far too often. This word is probably my least favorite (okay, second least), and I don’t think I’ve ever said it out loud. It usually makes me cringe. And yet… while I wouldn’t necessarily display this on MY bed, I think it’s a beautiful quilt. It made me laugh, because – really?! – it’s in cursive. Curse-ive. Thanks for making me think about the word differently.
Right? I hate this word too! But I loved the artistic exercise of expressing it in quilt form. Thanks for your open and honest comment!
Sandi… I was about to write a comment and then read yours. I think you sum up my feelings perfectly. I tend to swear a lot, but this word has always been cringe-worthy for me. Never use it.
Cauchy… LOVE the cursive and the quilting patterns are really pretty! I love how you have taken a word that has such a negative connotation and, for me, is harsh and angry, and made it into something pretty. Very interesting.
I use it. Sometimes it’s the only word that will do.
Ditto.
i can honestly say that this word has never made me smile..but this ..this is amazing and your work is quite beautiful..and i am smiling at it…cynthia
I couldn’t scroll down fast enough! The piecing is amazing as is the quilting! I guess what I’m saying is, “Your cunt is amazing!”
Whew, that felt good…
Ha! Quilting is by Tia Curtis.
Oh, I hope you can resolve the problems with it. The title of this post gave me a chuckle. I love how different this looks when compared to some of your other word quilts. It’s a great contrast in cursive, and of course, purple was a great choice!
thanks, it’ll be it time-out for a little while. oy.
I want to cuddle up in it! I love this.
And I deeply enjoy the leaf-print/paisley quilting along the edges of the lettering. I’ve never thought of quilting patterns (the quilting lines themselves, not the patchwork) as evocative, but on this quilt it adds an extra layer that helps the c*nt sing.
oh yes. the lettering in this is quilted rather provocatively too.
I always go for your photos first, so I scrolled quickly, while -kinda scanning the text, and I just saw the purple, the blocks, the fabulous QUILTING. Only then did I read the word and burst out laughing. This is a wonderful, witty work. I agree with Sandy that the ladylike cursive lettering is priceless.
My mate is still puzzling over my saying “Oh, C#nt!” and laughing out loud.
Thank you again! So excited about the book and love that I was lucky number 13! It will be very much appreciated and used and now I can take it off my Amazon wish list :).
The new quilt is ironically beautiful. As others have said, the cursive patchwork is amazing!
What a pretty c*. Had pretty much the same reaction as Sandi. :)
OOOhhh It’s a See You Next Tuesday (see what I did there??!!) quilt!! I love it!!! And purple is gorgeous! I do hope you are able figure things out and finish her. She’s lovely and should be used lovingly everyday. Ha!
“used lovingly every day”! *snicker!*
I have to wipe tea off my computer screen now. The title of this post and then that word, oh my – I love the way your mind works! Great quilt! And the quilting is gorgeous!
Another awesome quilt! I love the juxtaposition of beautiful construction and quilting with a word that would get one of my students thrown out of class for! I love how your work makes me think about my reactions to words, language & intent.
Your c* is a lovely piece of work. Don’t let anyone tell you different.
hahaaahhahaaa! love it!
O crap there are pearls rolling all over the floor. Over clutched again.
You had it machine quilted right ? Or not ? Do you need a friend to bind it?
Loving the cursive.
OMG, I love the cognitive dissonance of the c-word in .cursive.
Hahahaha ! While I never noticed it myself , I too like the cursive styling as BMGM noted.
“Queen sized and purple.” MWAHAHAHA!! Oh man, love this. Also, the quilt is gorgeous!
Amazing.
Is it quilted?
Love the font!
love this…my gf’s and i had the best laugh w vagina names on L word ~ haha our favorite was pink velvet sausage wallet xoxo
Love it! I guess a lot of us agree with Sandi. I use the f word way too much but I wouldn’t say this one — because it’s used by men in such a vitriolic & condemnatory way toward women. But I love this quilt! I love the cursive lettering and that you hopped right on that double dog dare!
perfect rendition of the c word.
ha ha ha! And let the controversy begin…
When I am an old woman (with a grey-haired c***) I shall wear purple.
Potty-mouthed here too but tend to omit this word from the vocab. I suppose we all have to draw the line somewhere. That being said I would display this quilt proudly.
that is STUNNING
Definitely not my favorite word, BUT, it certainly shows beautifully here! Love it!
hugz
my most hated word. but very lovely. love the italic font and the colors and woohoo, look at that quilting!
I like it, the cursive looks great!
Yeah, not a pretty word. But your treatment of it transcends and makes it a pretty run of letter forms. And that’s what any word is, right? Purple rules IMHO.
That word really is the mother of all nasty words. But I love what you did with it – you made it classy! Beautiful quilt.
lots of agreement from me too..Sally summed up my opinion well…purple is my favorite color..and the quilting is amazing! Hope you are able to resolve the finishing issues and enjoy it. as always love your point of view..thanks for showing this stunning quilt.
Who can resist a dare? Quite the statement and perfectly lovely.
What’s the resistance to finishing it?
as rupaul says, you need
charisma
uniqueness
nerve &
talent
you’ve got ‘em all.
This seems timely, especially given The Onion’s stupid tweet on Academy Awards night. I definitely give you props for accepting the dare. That’s a tough word to live with, soft fabric or not.
It’s a fantastic quilt, and, in my opinion, an under valued word in the female world. I prefer to use it and take it back from the men, and the way they use it. Again, a beautiful quilt and I love your work.
zomg, I can’t get over the title-image combo.
I think the next one should say “twat”!
Oh, I just love you! It took me a good second or two to turn my head sideways to see what it said, and then I had to clap and laugh. I wish you had a tiny secret camera for watching everyone’s reactions to your work. I think it would be fascinating. By the way- the quilting (and the quilt, of course) is beautiful!
Oh yes – that’s beautiful. I’m with stephen a – you have indeed got them all. I love the thought you inspire about words. So many women hate this one – but it’s just a word – the way they are used is what matters. I’m always amused by people saying things like ‘oh fudge’ – we all know what they are thinking and only the presence of children justifies it!
Keep on keeping on – I’m in awe of how much you accomplish and how wonderfully well you accomplish it all!

It’s GORGEOUS and I like the subtlety of using script for the c-word. I WANTS IT. :)
I use the word rarely, as I’ve decided to reserve it specifically for one ex-boss. It’s been nearly twenty years, but THAT word always brings her to mind.
The quilt, by the way, is stunning. It may help to replace that “old boss” image. Maybe it’s time, after all, to let the cunt go ; )
