Why parenting is like quilting
-“Parents…join the threads of the past with threads of the future and leave their own bright patterns as they go.” - Fred Rogers, children’s entertainer (a.k.a. Mr. Rogers)
-“Quilts are like warm cocoons. They are tidbits of love’s history bound together for generations to dream in.” - Leigh Ann Henion, journalist
-“I’ve begun to appreciate the generational patterns that ripple out from our lives.” - Anne Cassidy, journalist
-“Stitch by stitch, the quilters weave their memories into cloth, their thoughts into color.” -
-Staci Matlock, journalist
-“The quilt speaks to you like a painting. The spirit of a person makes it warm.” - Virginia Hall, quilter
-“Quilts tell the complex stories of women’s lives. They set forth personal history and experience, commit to memory people and relationships from the past, and express our hopes for the future.” - Carolann Barrett, essayist
-“Arrange whatever pieces come your way.” - Virginia Woolf, novelist
