My Husband just wrote me the most beautiful poem. I think I will keep him!

SEWING ROOM ROMANCE
By Skip Steffan
When you love somewhere and that somewhere loves you it gives you a place to grow
The pieces of cloth lay around me like bored kids in summer time who have no place to go

I sew from an idea grown in my head the thoughts like potting soil fertilizing a seed
This sheet, blanket, dress or quilt is just what that child knows not now but it’s just what they need

I have my inspiration the sewing machine whirls and hums
It’s the only one I trust to keep my secret project mum

I sew and sing to the music in the radio playing tunes from my youth
Knowing under the pillow case I am sewing will be the perfect spot to place that first lost tooth

My sewing room is the most peaceful place I have known, its comes with a cat curled on the floor
That commotion that stirs elsewhere in the house knows not to knock at this door

That knock will remain unanswered so your question, problem, or worry can just wait
It’s just not that important right now so just place that package unopened by the front gate

I will get back to you as soon as my project is done and I can again leave my sewing room alone
For that sewing room is my somewhere that my love for you has been watered and grown :-D :-D

That's just lovely! You better keep him - he's a treasure!

sweet !! he understands :-)

He is a poet!!! That was so sweet

Lovely

What a prize you have there. Definitely a keeper!

He's a keeper. And the poem is wonderful. I wish my DH would feel that way about my sewing.

Your DH nailed it, made my eyes water! How sweet of him, he is a keeper!

:):):):):):):):)

Well, if there is anything to make these tearings runing down my face,worth it, it was this..... your Soulmate!!!!!

That is lovely, what a sweet man. Mind if I borrow it? the poem not the man....LOL

How wonderful, a very kind and gentle individual.

Please do. In the poem where it talks about the pillow case, it was made for my granddaughter who loves penguins. I have two cats that love to be where I am and I love to sing along to the golden oldies. I bet no one else does.

WOW! Totally awesome! He sums it all up beautifully!

love the golden oldies - traveled alot when the kids were little and this is the only station we all agreed on - they enjoy them too, they are now in their 30's and 20's

How romantic. :)

That's sweet of your DH to express his thoughts about your love of sewing.
My DH wrote me one poem before we were married. It was heart felt but I'm glad he thought one was enough. LOL.

... who "gets it" AND who can definitely write!

thank you for sharing this!

Your hubbie is such a thoughtful and poetic soul! How does he understand so well what it all means to you?

Wow, a husband that understands a quilter
You are very lucky take care of him

He takes me to the quilt shops and we talk about what I want to do for who and what I want to do. He is a great incourager. He was raised with a mother and sister that were sewers and they took him to the fabric shops with him. He was taught well that sewing and quilting can run deep.

Well he is a treasure! Does he sew or quilt himself?

No, I could suggest that to him but he does have a good sence of color and balance. He plays golf and that takes patiences too. He golfs and I quilt while he is gone. Good trade off.

That was beautiful. Sounds like a wonderful man and definitely a keeper.

He's a sweetheart.

Sweet.

WOW - He sure knows you well and understands the peacefullness of quilting or sewing!!!! What a great guy and a great tribute!!!

How sweet of him.

How awesome that he so totally gets it!!! You are one lucky couple!

It sounds like he pays attention!! KEEPER!!!!!

That was beautiful. So sweet.

How sweet. He is a real keeper.

Truly a keeper! Beautiful poem:-)

Wonderful poem, he is a keeper.

he's a keeper

he's a keeper

You have a winner.

Ohh, that is precious! If I were you I would print this and frame it for hanging in the sewing room with his photo. What a sweetie you have there.

Beautiful, he's a keeper :D :thumbup: :-D

Awesome. Yes i sing, laugh and even cry. But my family knows too, that my sewing room is my haven. You are so blessed.
