QUILT LOVE: Our Heart is in the Sewing Room
If you could write a sonnet to sewing, what would it sound like? As you well know, quilters have some strong feelings for their craft and they're manifested in many ways. Sometimes it's a fever for fabric, sometimes it's seething with a seam ripper in-hand, sometimes it's commitment to see it through; always, quilting is a passion. Sounds like true love to me! With Valentine's Day on the way, I thought it might be the right time to strum the heartstrings for our Quilt Love. Here are some projects as well as quotes from creative minds who know that quilters truly have heart.
"Gather the threads of your life and stitch them into joy."
- Jody Houghton Designs
"My life is like a patchwork quilt of wisdom, prayers, hope, and faith mixed with miracles along the way."
- Paulette L. Motzko
"When feeling low, it's time to sew!"
- Unknown

Finishing at 60" x 70," it's a perfect throw or wall quilt for your happy sewing space. Pick up a kit here online or in-store where we also have yardage from this adorable collection.

- Jennifer Nobile
