A Gardeners Forum Forums Members History Forum Life 2006 I need a saying...

I'm making a wall hanging for the diretor at the daycare. She loves tea, so its going to have a teapot in the middle and then teacups around the teapot. The name of the quilt will be something like "Life is Like a Teapot". But I need some ideas. ....or maybe a saying that would complete the title that I can write on the quilt label. Any ideas???

Each cup of tea represents an imaginary voyage. ~Catherine Douzel

Tea is a cup of life. ~Author Unknown

There is no trouble so great or grave that cannot be much diminished by a nice cup of tea. ~Bernard-Paul Heroux

Remember the tea kettle - it is always up to its neck in hot water, yet it still sings! ~Author Unknown

Drink your tea slowly and reverently, as if it is the axis on which the world earth revolves - slowly, evenly, without rushing toward the future. ~Thich Nat Hahn

It sounds like it's gonna be really cute and I can't wait to see a picture of it

I'm glad G~Mom replied to this...she ALWAYS comes up with the neatest things!

This is my FAVORITE....

All I could think of was...

I'm a little tea pot short & stout...



~V~

that's all i could think of too!!! and Kathy is neither short nor stoudt!!!

Right now i'm working on a baby blanket for a good friend of Stepen's. She's due 2 weeks after we were. Have you ever felt the Minkee faric?? I bought a blanket kit with the fabric that i need for the blnket and there is a quarter yard of the Minkee in there. Its the softest thing I've ever felt!!!! And its EXPESIVE!!!! Usually at least $16 a yard!!!

Yeh..it's REAL expensive Jenn! Lisa made a baby blankie for goatbaby, she wanted it to be his "security" blankie. Then we got him a minkee fabric blankie (already made) Guess what his favorite is...you got it.. ..he drags it around everywhere....

I thought that was pretty funny that little song was the FIRST thing that popped in my head...


now I'm gonna be stuck with it there ALL day!!!

The first song I thought of was "Tea For Two" -- now you guys have got me humming "I'm A Little Teapot" thaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnkkkkks!

If you are cold, tea will warm you, If you are too heated, It will cool you. If you are too depressed, It will cheer you, If you are excited, It will calm you.~Gladstone, 1865.

So, Jenn...which one did you decide on? It sounds like an awesome project!

It does sounds like a great project and I just love all of the sayings. Looking forward to seeing the completed project.

I'm not sure which one I like the most. I can put as much or as litle as I want to on the label...I just have to cut it the right size. I've been thinking about it while I'm working on the baby blanket....which is almost done, by the way. The top is complete, I just have to put the backing on it and then sew in the "ditch"....not going to hand quilt this one. I'm not sure if I can actually hand quilt over the Minkee.....I'll tell you, its a booger to sew!! I'll post a picture of the baby blanket tonight.

Jen, go to www.quotegarden.com/tea you'll find lots there, hope it helps. This is the third time trying to post this. I keep getting poofed for some reason.

Jen, check your pm's.

OK, the baby blanket is done and we've eaten dinner...now I'm readu to start the wall hanging. My director is a very busy woman....and gets frazzled very easily. We have state inspection coming up next month and its her first one as a director of the facility, so she's really stressing about it. So, the quote that I will end up using will have something to do with relaxing....I'm going to have to read through all of these before I choose one.

I think it was Nancy Reagan who said something like, "Women are like tea bags - you never know how strong they really are 'til you put them in hot water"

I always liked that

I like that one too Amber.

I really like that one too. I will need to look for the exact quote so that I can put it on the label.

the more it brews,the better it is.


tea for tot.


good luck!
