A coat of many colors? No, just a quilt from scraps Memories made from others So many questions to ask. This piece from Granny's dress She only wore on Sunday Oh, how pretty in her best Now its mine for evey day. A worn coat from Mom The color still bright And shirts from Uncle Tom Red, yellow, green and white. I can't believe the riot of color The patterns old, some faded I'll put some here or other And together they are mated Oh, so pretty and on my bed The colors & pieces & memories, Of those I loved, now dead, Floating down like leaves. |

My Butterfly ; You don't get to know ALL of my secrets! I hope you will help me look for it, though. At my age, you seem to forget a lot! Love y'all, ME |

What a wonderful piece of reflection to bring back the memories of those who live in the heart. I know of a quilt somewhat like this in my family but HOLLY...you ain't gettin that one either...LOL. Beautifully penned and the images were superb. |

MotherEarth~ Oh, how you remind me of myself ! Each precious scrap of memory sewn onto the quilt. I finger the squares and the memories take flight ... circling to bring loved ones back to my heart. Thank you for this lovely written piece. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Mark: I guess you told that Holly! She will have the weave her own quilt....sure. thanks for the kind words Marge: as a new quilter and a new poem writer, I wish I had more quilts. I never got any hand-me-down quilts so have to make my own memories. Memoriesare great, aren't they. Thanks |

Oh, Janet Marie how I envy you your gift of a grandma's quilt. No one in my family did quilting that I know of so I have to make my own memories. It is easy to get lost when looking at an old quilt. And wonderful! Thank you, ME |

Hooked or not the gift for the weave does run in the family, that is something I DO know. I love this one, the reflection on a lifetime of memories, and as Marge said, each one so very precious! Take care!"The heart and soul have no illusion of boundries when friendship is the quest" ~ My Angel. |
