Google vs. fellow quilters
I often use google but when it comes to quilting questions --- the quilters on this site always have the best answer. I'm in the planning stages of a pieced quilt that has solid squares where I can write quilting/sewing statements such as:
Sewing Heals the Soul
I feed my soul by the stitches I sew
My soul is fed by my sewing needle and thread
and I'm looking for additional statements and I'm wondering if you have additional ones you'd like to share.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Keep on quilting, Phyllis

I have a fabric patch in my sewing room that I believe I got from Kathy B many years ago at a retreat. It says, "Asking a quilter to mend is like asking a chef to do the dishes." I love it.

If you are a dog lover you might like "Dog hair warms all quilts." Of course this could be adapted to cats.
