Sewing, glorious sewing


I meant to be good at the fabric store, I really did. But then I got out of the car and went in 

                            

                                            Measure twice. Cut once. Curse. Repeat.

 No, my sewing room is not messy. I just have everything out on display. Like a museum.


 The only place housework comes before quilting is in the dictionary.


Don’t be silly doctor! This is a “fabric stash,” not a “hoarding disorder.”



 “I will not buy any fabric until I use my fabric stash at home,” I said. And then I laughed and laughed.


 That secret happy dance you do when you realize you are finally done hand-cutting all 9,000,000,000,000 squares for that quilt.


 Fabric is so addictive that it should be a controlled substance.


It’s all fun and games until the bobbin runs out.


 You know you are a quilter if your ironing board is always set up, but you never iron clothes.


 Stitchin’, Bitchin’, and Braless. A quilter’s life is good.


 Sometimes I think maybe I should do something besides sew. . . then I realize how silly I’m being and go back to sewing.


 Of course I talk to myself when I craft. Sometimes I need expert advice.


 I’m in therapy, and sewing is cheaper than a psychiatrist.

Every one of us casts a shadow.

There hangs about us, a sort of a strange, indefinable something, which we call personal influence--that has its effect on every other life on which it falls. It goes with us wherever we go. It is not something we can have when we want to have it--and then lay aside when we will, as we lay aside a garment. It is something that always pours out from our lives . . . as light from a lamp, as heat from flame, as perfume from a flower.

The ministry of personal influence is something very wonderful. Without being conscious of it, we are always impressing others by this strange power that exudes from us. Others watch us--and their thinking and actions are modified by our influence."

"Be very careful, then, how you live--not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity." Ephesians 5:15-16
