Crazy Quilt

Denim and satin
Cotton and wool
Old neckties and dresses
Ribbons and scraps
All pieced together
Embroidered by hand
Two sides to it's creation
A blanket in between
Knotted and tied
With love
It's not real fancy
But it will do
For it will keep you warm
On cold winter nights
And give you
Warm feelings too

This is a lovely poem about a quilt.  It makes me want to write one about my grandma's creations.  Joyce

I have a quilt like this too and I hate to use it for fear it will wear out.  I take it out occasionally and display it, but I am hoping it can be passed on to my great-granddaughter one day so I take special care of it. Really nice poem.

SongBird~
I so enjoyed this piece.
Have always felt an affinity for the hands that place the patchwork pieces of their lives into quilts of comfort and beauty.
Thanks for sharing.
