Quilting Quips

Quilters never cut corners.

Quilters come with strings attached.

Quilters aren't greedy, they're just materialistic.

Quilting with a friend will keep you in stitches.

When life gives you scraps - make a quilt.

Quilt 'til you wilt!

I love sewing & have a plenty of material witnesses.

My soul is fed by my needle and thread.
