| Morning All -
I'm in the process of making a quote quilt for my niece and her fiance and need some help with quotes to include. I've googled quotes and could spend the rest of my life reading all the hits - which I don't want to do, so I'm doing the next best thing - collecting them from family and friends.
They are kind of young - she's 22 and he's 28, they love animals - 4 cats and 1 dog - and getting together with friends to play games of all sorts. She's in going to school for a career in the medical field and he's a store manager for an upscale department store.
So far I've printed off about a dozen and am using the light box DH made me to trace them on to 8-1/2" x 11" pieces of muslin. It's going to be a great take-along project and something I can do now that it's getting dark so stinking early and still feel like I'm accomplishing something.
Thinking that I'm going to use neckties to frame each quote and then QAYG after that - we'll see.
She is just starting to quilt and mentioned that she wants to make a quilt for the guest bedroom and he's encouraging her - yeah!
So what is your favorite quote?

Two of my favourites are
"Speak kind words, hear kind echoes"
"You cannot change the wind, but you can adjust your sails"
Then, of course, there's the old favourite "A stitch in time saves nine"
Sounds like a lovely quilt. |

| If you go back in "previous messages" at the the bottom, go to No.4 and you will find your "quotes". There are many, many good ones there. |

| I've always liked this one- Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you criticize them, you are a mile away and you have their shoes. |
