Needlework - “Sewing mends the soul.”

 


“You can’t use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have.” – Maya Angelou


“The only place where housework comes before needlework is in the dictionary.” – Mary Kurtz


“You can sew your own curtain to remain hidden from the dark side of the world.” – Munia Khan


“Without craftsmanship, inspiration is a mere reed shaken in the wind.” – Johannes Brahms


A creative mess is better than tidy idleness


One who sleeps under a quilt is comforted by love


A lady never discusses the size of her fabric stash

THE SERENITY PRAYER

GOD GRANT ME THE SERENITY
TO ACCEPT THE THINGS I CANNOT CHANGE;
COURAGE TO CHANGE THE THINGS I CAN;
AND WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.

LIVING ONE DAY AT A TIME;
ENJOYING ONE MOMENT AT A TIME;
ACCEPTING HARDSHIPS AS THE PATHWAY TO PEACE;
TAKING, AS HE DID, THIS SINFUL WORLD
AS IT IS, NOT AS I WOULD HAVE IT;
TRUSTING THAT HE WILL MAKE ALL THINGS RIGHT
IF I SURRENDER TO HIS WILL;
THAT I MAY BE REASONABLY HAPPY IN THIS LIFE
AND SUPREMELY HAPPY WITH HIM
FOREVER IN THE NEXT.
AMEN.
