Faber-Castell Ink Pens
Q is for quilt. Q is for quill, an early writing instrument made from a feather, and for Quink, an ink it can write with. Q is for the Quince Street painters of Philadelphia.
Q is for quinophthalone yellow, a lightfast synthetic organic pigment, and for quercitron, a yellow dye from the North American Black Oak. Q is for the quinacridones: rose, gold and magenta.

Ink Pens
Q is for the quarries where painters find quicklime for frescoes, and where sculptors eventually find their marbles.
Q is for Quadrone, Quinsac, and Queirolo. Q is for Quartley, the Quellins, and Quidor, known more for his embellishments on fire trucks than his illustrative paintings of Irving’s essays.
Q is for the artist’s quality of workmanship.

I was waiting for this one Lisa and, once again, you haven’t disappointed. You’ve also found a heck of a lot more than I imagined for ‘Q’, I love this series!
(sits patiently waiting to see what ‘X’ is going to look like
)
Thanks Rita!
It’s a good thing quilts are BIG. Hmmmm. Yes, what to do for “X.” I wonder, how badly do we really need that letter anyway?
Yeah, great job with a tough letter!
