pattern will come out all right like the embroidery."
~Oliver
Wendell Holmes | | "All
my scattering moments are taken up with my needle."

gratification, but of high moral benefit, and the means of developing

Table Book, 1845
“Crafts make us
feel rooted,
give us a sense of belonging and connect us
with our history.

out of necessity,
and now we do them for fun,
to
make money and to express ourselves.”
~
Phyllis George | | | "From
the manner in which a woman draws her thread at every stitch of her
needlework, any other woman can surmise her thoughts." ~

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."
~
Nathaniel Hawthorne, The Marble Faun, 1859 | | "Sewing fills my days,
not to mention
the living room, bedroom, and closets."
~ Author

With
eyelids heavy and red,
A woman sat in unwomanly rags,
Plying
her needle and thread -
Stitch! stitch! stitch!”

stitch in time,
saves nine."

destroys the craft
not to learn it."

the
crafts so long to learn.”
