    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 love this one because it emphasizes that the quilt should be used

    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.
