Tad’s ‘Home Sweet Home’ illustration

Amy at Design*Sponge shared this modern take on the ‘Home Sweet Home’ sentiment with this illustration by Tad Carpenter. I’m now inspired to take a phrase, perhaps a quote from a family member*, make a design using a modern typeface. Then I could print it out on fabric or linen for sewing and/or stitching.

*My Mamaw used to say, “Blood’s thicker than water” when talking about family and home. Here’s the entire quote, found at Family Tree Quotes.

Blood’s thicker than water, and when one’s in trouble
Best to seek out a relative’s open arms.
~Euripides

Not that I’d want to see this in a craft project, but you get the idea. Click HERE to see a list of craft-friendly Home Sweet Home themed phrases at Denny’s Poems and Quotes.
