Had an idea for a fun quilt. Would love some help....
 

Here's my idea. Hand embroidered or appliquéd squares of sewing products, - thimble, thread, etc. (any suggestions where I can find these?)

The other squares have "tongue in cheek" words of wisdom embroidered on them - like handed down from
Grandma. Some that I came up with :

Your scissors can be sharpened by cutting through several sheets of sandpaper - or they can be sharpened by a person who sharpens scissors.

When hand quilting, try to make your quilting stitches even. If they are not even, that's o.k.

Needle blunt? Change needles

Some sewers use a thimble. Some don't...

If you find that you're zigging too much, then zag...

sounds like a cute idea!

Totally agree!

Sounds like a great idea! Can you Do a Google search for hand embroidery designs-?

"Your scissorscan be sharpened by cutting through several sheets of sandpaper - or they can be sharpened by a person who sharpens scissors." But it isn't wise to use a sharp tongue!

"When hand quilting, try to make your quilting stitches even. If they are not even, that's o.k." Call it a design decision!

Hooped quilts don't have to be "tight as a drum" for stitching. They're not in the Army!

Dropping your cutters makes for dull blades or points. And often causes the color "red" to appear!

Tired eyes do not make energetic stitches.

Even when you are very careful in piecing, a "gremlin" often appears when you are nearly done. A glass of wine is quite helpful in getting over this event!

No fabric is too ugly if you just cut it up small enough!

You can have every quilting book that's published, but YOU will still have to make the quilt yourself.

When thread basting a large quilt, two friends chatting over the stitches makes the work much more pleasant.

Pins in their holder, pins in the piecing, pins in a basted top are really helpful; pins on the floor or in your comfy chair -- NOT SO MUCH!

It is better not to eat a Hershey bar while you are handquiltiing.

Sewing machines lovingly tended become your best tool. Name yours to show it how much you care!

Way to go, Jan. Thanks for all of the wonderful ideas. You are SEW COOL!

That's so true, the quilting books just sit there:)

That will definitely be a fun quilt. Your sayings and Jan's are wonderful!

Google coloring pages for scissors, thimbles, spools, etc or try pinterest. A lot of pinners collect interesting images on our hand embroidery pages

Thanks, Dottiequilts, I googled and found - it didn't even dawn on me to try google. Now to try to tackle pinterest...
