Today is Wednesday and once again it is time to play my two favourite alphabet-memes, Mrs. Denise Nesbitt's abc-Wednesday and Mrs. Jenny Matlock's Alphabe-Thursday. This week both memes have the letter "Q". These are my thoughts about Q:
Is the letter Q a quiet letter? Or does it quack like a duck? Or quaver like a quail? Let's dance a quadrille! Is it a quagga or a quagmire?
What are its qualities? Is it quadratic or quarrelsome? Does it ask questions or queries? Or can it quench your thirst, make you feel queasy, or force you to stand and wait in a queue? Is Q quick-witted and the quintessense of how a letter should be? Or is it only a quirk among written signs? I am not quite finished yet. My Q-words are QUILT and QUARTZ. I even have quaint photos for you all to see! Look at these beautiful earrings that Karen Stahlecker of WillOaks Studio has made with QUARTZ drops! Click on the image or go to her page here.

@Alesa Warcan - Thanks for your kind words! I need your moral support.
@Sherrie - Yes, is't it lovely? I don't know if she still has it or if it's sold. Go to Karen's blog and then to her shops. She is an amazing jewellery artist.

Great Qs here. That washed out quilt is still very pretty. I lik the first photo very much. Happy Birthday Elisabet!
And that was quite clever, your quirky use of "q"!! Thank you for using my quartz (a stone with wonderful qualities!) And happy birthday, Anna!!
Great set of Q words. I'd completely forgotten about 'quagga' (not that I could have got a photo of one!), the quartz jewellery is beautiful, as is that quilt. You're clearly a talented lady - I'm afraid I'm pretty useless at sewing. :)
What a nice variety of q words. I loveth quilt pictures the best. Happy day!
Love all the different patterns of quilts out there. Nice earrings too.
On behalf of the ABC Wed. team, thanks for participating.
I grew up with quilts and still love wrapping up in them. Great Q post.
This was really a great post. You really got a lot of q words in there. I love the quartz and I LOVE the quilt you made. Hope Elizabeth had a Happy Birthday.
Sometimes these alphabet posts are a bit challenging, However, it is always neat to see what we come up with. Those quartz earrings are gorgeous. THanks for stopping by and your input on the Questions.....

Quality Qs.
Wonderful Qs you have incorporated into your post, - I do love the quartz and am particularly fond of quilts. Elisabet looks so sweet wrapped in that lovely quilt. Happy belated birthday to her.
all beautiful q's.
What a delightful Q post! From the quilt to the quartz with all those interesting Q words in between. Loved it!
Happy birthday little one...There is nothing like being wrapped in a homemade quilt...it makes the world a better place....happy q day!
Beautiful 'Q' post!
Have a great weekend too!
XOXO LOLA:)
Elisabet is too precious in her quilt. I love both of those photos, but especially the last one in which we can see her darling, expressive face. I remember looking for quartz as a girl, but I don't think I've ever seen it in jewelry before. At least not that I am aware of. Great Q words and an interesting sweet post. Happy Belated Birthday to Elisabet!
Oh I should have thought of Quartz!!! I have some rose quartz jewelry around here someplace. I do like the clear quarts pieces you have shown too. And it looks like your little girl loves the quilt you made!!
OH and I almost forgot! Happy Birthday to your little Elisabet!!
Excellent Q post! Excellent!
Anna, what a wonderfully diverse
"Q" post you did, today! Good for you. And a belated happy birthday to your sweet girl! At last, I have a girl in my family - and, perhaps, in a year, I'll have a granddaughter..or a grandson. I might have someone to leave my girly jewelry to when I depart this earth!
Very (q)ute! LOL.
Happy belated Birthday to dear, sweet Elisabet :) I love those fabrics on the quilt!
Oh - after I emailed you the page loaded so I got here in the end! Lovely combination of Qs!
First of all...Happy, happy, happy, birthday :o)
What a wonderful Q post... I love quilts and yours that you made is beautiful.
I am very impressed with all the Q words you used.
Blessings & Aloha!
Thank you sooo much for stopping by :o) I would LOVE to see more of your quilts....please let me know when you post about more of them...
Nothing quite like the quintessential quilt, is there? Terrific post! :o)
Uh, was I really the 55th comment here???! WHAT is with that???

I like to quilt too, pally. Maybe someday we can work on one together. I would like that.
