“SONNET”

A Sonnet is one of several forms of poetry that originated in Europe, mainly Provence and Italy. A sonnet commonly has 14 lines. The term “sonnet” derives from the Occitan word “sonet” and the Italian word “sonetto”, meaning “little song” or “little sound”. By the 13th Century, a Sonnet signified a poem of fourteen lines that followed a strict rhyme scheme and specific structure.

All challenge quilts should adhere to the challenge theme and be a minimum of 2’ x 2’ to a maximum of 4’ x 4’ and should have a sleeve attached so that it can be easily displayed at our conference next November. Information regarding your challenge quilt should be received no later than October 15, 2012. Thanks for participating!
