Tell me if this sounds familiar: you're unpicking the same seam for the third time, the bobbin has developed opinions, and the words coming out of your mouth are... let's call them creative . We quilters have a whole private vocabulary for moments like that, and I've always thought it deserved to be worn out loud.
Well, now it can be. A whole flock of sassy new tees just waddled into the shop, and I am beyond thrilled to finally get them out of my sewing room and into yours. These are the sayings we mutter at the machine, printed right where everyone at guild can see them.
Meet the sayings
Zero Scraps Given is for the quilter whose scrap bin is a lifestyle, not a mess. This isn't hoarding, it's strategic inventory, and now your shirt agrees with you.
Then the ducks arrive. What The Duck?! is the face you make when the pattern says "easy." Oh, Pluck Off! is a love letter to every seam that refused to behave. And Tuck Around says what it says, and I will not be elaborating further.
For the quilter who leads with confidence, there's Sew What Attitude and its equally mouthy friend Sew What Sass. And Quilt Your Own keeps things short, sweet, and just pointed enough.
Penny took one look at all these ducks and said, "Finally, some representation." ๐ง
Short sleeves, long sleeves, your call
You'll find these sayings across Comfort Colors premium tees and long sleeves ~ so there's a Zero Scraps Given ~ Comfort Colors Premium Tee for fabric-shopping weather and a Zero Scraps Given ~ Comfort Colors Premium Long Sleeve Tee for those early mornings when your sewing room hasn't warmed up yet. Pick the one that matches how your studio runs, or do what I did and refuse to choose.
Where the flock landed
These quilting goodies have settled into their homes around the shop:
- Sassy Quilting Sayings ~ where all the mouthy ones live
- Birds of a Feather Stitch Together ~ the natural nesting ground for the duck designs
- New Tees Just In ~ the whole landing party in one place
- The Scrap Basket ~ where a few of these have tucked themselves in
- Long Sleeve Tees ~ for the covered-up crowd
- Mid/Heavyweight Tees ~ for quilters who like their shirts the way they like their batting: substantial
Ready to dive in? Start with New Tees Just In and see the whole flock together.
And if you end up wearing Oh, Pluck Off! to your next guild meeting, no judgment ~ honestly, I'd consider it a personal victory. Which one is you? I have my suspicions.
