Jabberwocky


I belong to a group that does one "quick fire" challenge a month. We have one week from the time we get the theme until we post pictures of the finished piece. I was the challenge hostess this time and my theme was "Jabberwocky." I spent several days and got halfway through with the original one before I chucked it and did this one in a short period. My daughter has always called the Nigerian scam letters and the insane subject lines and sender names jabberwocky, so what could be more appropriate? I really like this little piece.

I played around with some free-hand writing on the background, and the letter and junk mail ads are intentionally printed on thin fabric so the words underneath show. The individual computer keys on the body of the quilt are the ESC and DEL keys.

I'm smiling at this approach! The word "slithy" comes to mind in connection with these scam letters. ESC and DEL!!

Oh, I forgot, to thank you for the birthday wishes! I didn't think I'd mentioned it and was surprised when I was responding to your comment on my blog. Still not up to speed, but feeling better this morning...not older, just better.

Your birthday was easy to remember after you posted the National Weird Holidays link and I looked mine up and happened to see your right above it.
