I love a good quote and if it has anything to do with sewing… all the better. I rounded up a few of my favorites and hope they bring a smile to your face, like they did mine.
~ I’m a Fabricaholic on the road to recovery…JUST KIDDING…I’m on the road to the fabric store.
~ Proof positive that quilters are Athletes and Quilting is a sport…Quilting involves *Batting *Running Stitches *Pumping Iron *Rowing
*Rowing *Hunting (for fabric) *Hooping and *Ditching
~ You haven’t had enough coffee until you can thread a sewing machine needle while it’s running.
~ I sent my kid to college so I could store fabric in her room.
~ I’m just a few yards of fabric away from being featured on an episode of “Hoarders!”
~ You can’t buy happiness, but you can buy fabric…and that’s pretty close!
~ Sewing Truths: Fabric is so addictive it should be a controlled substance.
~ A clean house is the sign of a broken sewing machine.
~ SHHH! Don’t tell my husband I planned this year’s vacation around the fabric stores I want to visit.
~ You are responsible for the talent that has been entrusted to you.
~ No one expects the stamp collector to actually mail letters with his stamps. No one expects the coin collector to use his coins in a vending machine for soda. So why does everyone expect me to use my fabric collection to actually sew something. I’m not a fabriholic; I’m a fabric collector!
~ I promise to use what’s in my fabric stash before buying anymore…unless there’s a sale, because you just can’t pass up a sale!
~ Asking a seamstress to mend is like asking Michelangelo to paint your garage.
~ “Sure, bring the whole family over! Susan’s working on a quilt, so bring your own food and dishes, and a folding table if you have one.”
~ The only place where “housework” comes before “sewing” is in the dictionary!
~ I was sewing when sewing wasn’t “cool!”
~ She who dies with the most fabric wins!
~ When I die, I want my ashes scattered in the fabric store, so my wife will come visit me.
~ A GOOD friend shops for fabric with you. A TRUE friend helps you hide it when you get home!
~ Soft fabric, warm fabric, Buy it by the yard. Happy fabric, pretty fabric, Here’s my credit card.
~ Cinderella is proof that having friends who can sew will change your life!
Hope these quotes and sayings made you smile.
Do you have a favorite one? I’ll add it to my list.
See you tomorrow,

I haven’t been commenting, although I enjoy your blog every day. Had to tell you that my dh and I just had a good laugh over these sewing sayings. Thank goodness he can laugh!!!!
Morning Sissy and Peyton(?)
I was thinking of you on a few of these! So glad you both got a chuckle out of them. Thanks for being a faithful reader.

If anyone remembers dollmaker Susana Oroyan, she used to have a list. The one I remember is “The one who has to the most fabric when she dies, WINS!’
Oh yes, Jevne….that one is classic… I’ll add it!

My husband said (years ago), I don’t have to die. I’ve won already!! LOL
My smiling hubby ALWAYs references the…” She who dies with the most fabric wins” saying … when we are at a g-sale or shopping. When he looks at me and says “you have already won”… most people who hear it start laughing…cause they just know…
Hi Kathie,
I guess “us seamstresses” have our hubby’s all “trained” alike!! Isn’t it wonderful???

Okay, here are a couple I recently found on Facebook:
1–A GOOD friend shops for fabric with you. A TRUE friend helps you hide it when you get home! [my girlfriend, who often helps me buy it, thinks I have ingenious ways of hiding fabric! LOL]
2–Soft fabric, warm fabric,
Buy it by the yard.
Happy fabric, pretty fabric,
Here’s my credit card.
3–Cinderella is proof that having friends who can sew will change your life!
Make that three that I found….enjoy!
