At the end of every good sew day there comes a moment when someone taps a glass and says, "I'd like to propose a toast." Sip Sassy Quilter Wine Sippers is the collection made for that moment, stemless wine sippers lettered in bright rainbow gradients, each one carrying a toast with a little attitude. Fill yours up, find your spot at the table and join in.
To the quilter who never misses her routine
Some women have a morning routine. Ours has a whole life routine, and Eat Sleep Quilt Repeat spells it out in three different hands, one with a spool and scissors tucked between the words, one in sketchy, hand-drawn letters and one in bold rainbow capitals. Today is a Good Day to Quilt wraps a machine in swirls of teal, coral and gold, a reminder that the answer to "is today a good day" is always yes. Raise a glass to consistency.
To the quilter who is unavailable, thank you
She loves you, truly, but she is in the middle of a border. One sipper apologizes in pretty script beside a spool, and another says the same thing under a little sewing machine and a scatter of flowers. A third sets a machine inside a burst of sunbeams and admits she would rather be quilting. There is the famous confession that she may look like she is listening, but in her head she is thinking about quilting, and a friendly notice that her quilting time is for everyone's safety, trimmed with pins and scissors. Here's to boundaries, lovingly enforced.
To the quilter with her priorities in order
Two Weekend Forecast sippers check the outlook. One predicts quilting with a chance of chocolate, and the other, framed in a row of star blocks, calls for quilting with no chance of cleaning or cooking. Follow Your Soul points its compass toward the quilt shop, When Life Gives You Scraps Make a Quilt turns leftovers into something lovely, and Quilters Gonna Quilt swaps one letter O for a bobbin. For the most devoted guest of all, Quilt-a-Holic stands a purple machine proudly over its name.
For the friend who always brings the bottle
Every guild has her. She shows up to sew day with the snacks, the corkscrew and the funniest thing anyone will say all afternoon. She has opinions about thread weight and she shares them freely. You can already picture which toast is SO her. Pour her a sipper that says it for her, then save the last toast for yourself: to finished quilts, to good friends, and to the seam ripper, which we sincerely hope stays in the drawer tomorrow.
