Default quilt labels

Does anyone have a favorite phrase they like to put on their labels? I thought of one that really strikes a chord with me - "A quilt is a hug when I can't be there."

I know, a little sappy, but it kind of channels my grandmother, it sounds like something she would say, and she was not a quilter.

i don't have any specific phrases, but I sure love yours! it's not sappy at all in my mind.

I love that!! I may have to use it even I really like this poem .. its a little long but I am going to put this on the back of one some day

This quilt is made of cloth and thread
To place upon your little bed.
It's not an heirloom-just to keep,
But to lay upon as you count sheep.
Or perhaps the floor's the perfect place
For a doll and teddy picnic space.
This quilt can be anything you can dream-
From superman's cape to the robe of a queen.
Pretend it's a raft adrift at sea,
Or just cuddle up when you watch TV.
So use it up and wear it out-
I promise I won't yell or pout.
Just tell me when its days are through,
And I'll make another, just for you

I use this (found on the internet) especially when I don't know who the recipient of the quilt will be.

The best kind of sleep beneath heaven above,
is under a quilt handmade with love.
