“A lady is smarter than a gentleman, maybe, she can sew a fine seam, she can have a baby, she can use her intuition instead of her brain, but she can't fold a paper in a crowded train.”
Phyllis McGinley
“The ladies who ran the contest said, 'Well honey, don't you sing while you sew or maybe you tap dance while you sew?' I said, 'No ma'am, I just sort of sit there.' That was not what they wanted to hear.”
Deborah Norville
“We do not live an equal life, but one of contrasts and patchwork; now a little joy, then a sorrow, now a sin, then a generous or brave action”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“All pleasures and supreme ecstasy, O my Beloved, come to those who sew the Jewel of the Lord into their minds. They do not forget, even for an instant, the Support of the breath of life. They live by constantly meditating on Him, O Nanak.”
Sri Guru Granth Sahib
“She hates it. She did it all her life and she had to learn how to sew to survive. She couldn't fathom I want to sew because it is my dream.”
Chloe Dao
“The house wasn't for sale, but we wanted to sew it up for our future. We saw the growth at Eagle Ranch and neighboring communities and wanted to have some room for the youth.”
Charlyn Canada
“I grew up watching my grandmother sew things. . . . She never threw things out, she fixed them with a needle and thread. She and I weren't close, but now that I've reached adulthood and have a child of my own, I find myself doing the same things she used to do. This was fascinating for me and I guess it's part of why I decided to make this film.”
