Hi Cuties, IDEA! Do you remember the old tradition of the autograph book? In germany we called this a poetry album. You give a blank book to your friends, everyone signs it with a small poem
which assures you of your eternal
friendship.
Or another short saying, word of wisdom,
bible quote, best whish...
This was done in your prettiest handwriting
(in "ancient" times it was a
school subject, and yes, I had
"schönschreiben" ;-) ) and if
you had to sign the book of your VERY best
friend, you maybe glued your favourite
"lackbild" in.
I looked this up- did not find an english
word for that.
Here you have an impression.

My idea is: are you interested in having a
cuties poetry album?
Those who are able to create an embroidery
text file can post it to designs by cuties,
others tell me the poem and I could do
this.
It will turn out better than my goofy first
attempt, I promise.
With those textfiles we could do a
friendship quilt, everyone for her own,
combined with our favourite
heirloom/vintage/valentine designs.
What do you think?
18966 It's a super Idea. I found 2 poem in
my old friendbook.
-I dream my dreams until my dreams comes
true. I also hope for you. and
-If you asked me: "What is more
important to you, your life or do I?"
Would I were to say: "My life!"
And you'd go without knowing that you
are my life.
I hope, that is right in english
594 Thanks for your encouraging answers!
I hope for many participants! FUN.
This is a first example how it could turn
out.
I did it with a built in font of PE
Designer, today I will try another font
with the Futura. Maybe will look better.
The heart is an applique shape.
The poem was very popular to use, says
"In all - 4 corners - my love- is
in" or better "I put my love to
all 4 corners".
I think for this project it would be nice
to have poems in the "original"
native languages- for the special character
of our forum, connecting the world in
friendship. I like this idea.
Greetings!
Eva
by 18966 Count me in!!! Of course, like several others, I can only do 4X4 designs. But I will start working on mine. ** Judy!!!

1295 Liebe Eva,
eine wunderbare Idee! Meine Tochter hat
leider heute diese Bücher mit diesem
Abfragetext;
Lieblingsfarbe-Lieblingsband-Lieblingstier.
.. langweilig.
Ich kann zwar nicht digitalisieren, ahbe
aber noch meine Poeseialben und mein
Versleinbuch vom guten alten
Schneiderverlag (ach; Hanni&Nanni
:o).
I have still my old books; today my
daughter has these books where you just put
in: favorite color, band, pet... soooo
boring because every girl looks what the
others have writen before ;o)
greetings, ansalu

Those modern friendship books with ready
made formulas (not much room for individual
interests... so poor) could be fun to read
too. A classmate (age 7) wrote into our
book
Favorite actor: Goofy.
I love this.

wow, in Annas book there are always: horses or footballclub (the boys ;-) or sometimes the name of a special boy :o)
549 730 How wonderful it sounds to have those treasure memories! I can't speak for all of the USA only for myself, and here we did have a yearbook signing and we still do. Unfortunately we would only write things like "stay sweet", "call me this summer", or "have a fun summer." I maybe would've saved all of those books had they had more cherished things written in them. TY for this insight into your life.

89892 In France we did something similar in
school. All the girls had a friendship
penbook. Some girls were writting poem,
some glued some picture of their favorite
singer and other thing. The book was passed
from girl to girl and everybody was
writting a message to the other one.
If you give me a few days, I'll
embroid a cuties'poem and take a photo
of it to post to the project !
Ashame we are so far from each other
because it would be fantastic to all
embroid a poem with nice deco and one of us
sew it together to make a quilt.
You had a great idea!
