Quilt Sayings

I'm sorry if I have any repeaters.

Love is the thread that binds us.
May your sorrows be patched and your joys be quilted.
May your bobbin always be full.
Memories are stitched with love.
Old quilters never die... they just go to pieces.
Seamstresses never go crazy, they just stay on pins and needles.
One quilting project, like one cookie, is never enough!
