I count the stitches line by line; And watch the thread record the time.
Love and memories we impart to quilt the fabric of the heart.
May the colors of your life be bright and the threads in your life very strong
May you be free from cares and woe when ‘neath this quilt you seek repose.
May your sorrows be patched and your joys quilted.
Piece, piece, piece, and lo, a counterpane / May each person resting here / Find peace, sweet peace / And ne'er encounter pain
Quilts, like friends, are / different, colorful, fun, / warm and comforting-- / And you can never acquire enough of either.
This quilt, wrought with so much love, Each tiny stitch you see, Will be there when I am gone, Reminding you of me.
When I give to you / What I make with my hands / I share with my heart
I was thinking warm thoughts / of you day after day,/ As stitch upon stitch in this/ quilt I was taking./ And I hope that the pleasure / you find in it may/ Be as great as the pleasure/ I found in the making.

Some may wonder if handsewing, with its seemingly endless stitches, has a real place in today's busy home. Just as comfortable a place, we reply, as the rocking chair in the nursery.

Embroidery is a very personal art, its charm lies in the individuality expressed by the worker.
We have to trust our own choice after all, and end with the simple belief that what pleases us is beautiful. Indeed, no other rule is of any use to us, and if we do but honestly please ourselves, and make forms which genuinely give us pleasure, we shall find ourselves credited with the power of designing beautiful things.
It requires as much ingenuity to adapt a design as to invent one, and the needle worker who can adapt a pattern from another source is half way along the road to being a successful designer.
It is a fallacy to think that original design can only be achieved after years of training.
Needlework is an outlet for the creative instinct.
" ...Methinks it is a token of healthy and
gentle characteristics, when women of
high thoughts and accomplishments love
to sew, especially as they are never more
at home with their own hearts than while
so occupied."

Embroidery is the art of enriching a fabric with stitchery.
There are only a handful of basic stitches which are the Adams and Eves of all the others...stem, satin, chain, cross, back, weaving, and filling--upon which untold variations have been built.
Embroidery has a natural affinity for flowers. It can also, of course, represent nothing at all.
Embroidery has continually played an integral part in the history of man and woman. It not only signified certain status and wealth through the ages but it has also given countless hours of satisfaction to those who could create something of beauty with a needle and thread.
Embroidery, like every other art--or sport, for that matter--needs to be understood to be enjoyed.
