Every sewing room has a closing ritual, even if nobody wrote it down. The blade gets covered. The iron gets unplugged (checked twice). And only then does the wine come out, because there is a sipper in this collection that says Don't Drink and Quilt, and it was written by people who have tried.
The Quilty Wine Sippers are stemless, insulated tumblers with a lid, which is the only kind of wine glass that belongs within reach of fabric. Quilters Gonna Quilt and Eat Sleep Quilt Repeat are the steady favorites. Sewciopath and Quilt-a-Holic are for the friend who will laugh out loud in the kitchen. My Therapy says the quiet part. Sorry, I'm Busy Quilting is a warning label for anyone who wanders in during the last row.
We also keep Quilting Is My Superpower and Fabricologist in Quilty Wine Sippers, because some nights the sipper needs to make a claim, not a joke.
It is a small gift that always lands, and a slightly larger gift to yourself. Either way, cover the blade first.
