The Writing Center at UNH has a student-made quilt featuring quotes and images with a language theme, an old framed quilt section which acts as a prompt: Writing is like quilting because ..., Writing is like X because _____. Passersby can create their own metaphors and hang them on the wall. We also have sheets of magnetic poetry that students or staff can play with to make new lovely new pieces of language daily. Large baskets of cheap candy round out the scene.
