This is Riel's blog header. Isn't it the best?? I really want to borrow this idea and make a pillow. (NOTE: I may get a bit gushy in this post because, well, it's mostly about selvages!!)
1. Riel, how did you choose the name, The Q and the U?
I actually had the little tag line "Quietly Quilting in Quispamsis" chosen before the blog name. But I knew that Quispamsis (the name of my town) would be hard to remember and maybe hard to spell if you weren't familiar with it. What the three main words have in common though, is a letter Q and a letter U. So after playing with that thought for a bit I very simply decided on "The Q and the U." I thought it was straightforward, different, hopefully easy to remember, and certainly easy to spell ;-)
2. Were there other names you considered, and can you share any of them with us?
I can't remember having other names chosen. I did take a little time to think of what other words started with Qu that I could maybe throw into the tagline, but "quirkily" or "quickly" quilting don't quite have the right ring, although they may be apt descriptors for what I do.
3. Now that you are recognized by The Q and the U, are you happy with it, or do you wish you could change it to something else?
I like my blog name. I really have never thought about changing it. Thanks so much Cindy for inviting me to play The Name Game.
Riel, you areso welcome. I'm so happy you played along. Your work is stunning!
I had to grab these two pictures as well. Halloween is just around the corner, and look at what Riel is working on now.
I'm also going to do a little promo plug here because Riel has written a novel that will be released in October. You can read more about it here. While you are there, be sure to check out more of the amazing quilts that Riel has made.
Next week, Kelly will be here from Pinkadot Quilts. Another fascinating name--you won't want to miss it.
