Our family is like a patchwork quilt
With kindness gently sewn
Each piece an original
With beauty all its own
With threads of warmth and happiness
Its lightly stitched together
To last in love throughout the years
Our family is forever.

I love this one....

Click on this and take a look at the prom dress half ways down the page....Priceless!!!!!

I wrote this one to go with all my baby quilts.

This quilt of may colors was made with love and joy,
I hope it helps to welcome your precious girl or boy.

Use it during playtime or when they go to sleep
Use it when you cuddle them, the chill away to keep.

Wrap this quilt around them when on an outing you go
This quilt was given to be used, not just made for show.

And as mother childern can make a mess I know,
If the quilt gets dirty, in the washing machine it can go.

Dragonfly Nana,
That's beautiful....
Thanks for sharing that!

Thanks. I love the ones you have sent the links to also.
Amazing how the words can speak to our hearts.

I Think God is a Quilter


I think God is a quilter
Who takes His needle and thread
To piece our world from nothingness
And give it form instead.

I think God is a quilter
And everything I see
Are pieces from His careful hand
From tree to bumblebee.

I think we see God's stitches
His texture everywhere:
The velvet moss, the grainy sand,
The silky strands of hair.

I think God is a quilter
Stitching tight and tiny rows
Adding to my scraps and pieces
Seaming everything He knows.

I think he cuts the pattern
From what I'd throw away.
He shows me how to use each scrap
In His redeeming way.

I think God quilts a pattern
From everything I live;
But He can only stitch the quilt
From what I choose to give.

I think God is a Quilter
Stitching strength where I am weak.
Showing me that life He touches
Embraces everything I seek.

I think God is a Quilter
From the patience in each thread;
Proving length of time no barrier;
Treating time a gift, instead.

I think quilts are lessons
God uses just to teach
That our pieces and our remnants
Have kaleidoscopic reach.

So, in the live I'm living
With pieces everywhere
I'll give them to the Quilter
To stitch with loving care.

I'll give them to the Quilter
Unwanted though they be
And with his work of quilting
He'll make a quilt of me.

Bill, that is beautiful. May I share it with my church for the next reading?

Hi Dragonfly Nana,
I love that one - I found that on a website - author unknown....but really a beautiful poem - would love to know who wrote it.....

So would I. Thank you for sharing it
How are your sales going?

Sales have been really good - a bit quiet the last couple of days but I still have everything that's left there...I've been busy mailing it all out...I may list some more different fabrics this weekend - just have to get into the stash!

Best of luck....I will keep watching. :-0

Great chatting with you - have a great evening! I'm going to call it a night..perhaps watch a few moments of the Opening Ceremony for the Olympics....if I don't fall asleep!

You too Bill. I need to get started on some signature blocks for a swap....you should join us.

I would love to but I think I have too many swaps n my plate for the moment - perhaps the next time :-)

Thank you for sharing these poems with the group. Some are really great to read~!

ROFL. Love that prom dress and the reaction. I wouldn't be too thrilled either. Thanks for a laugh.

Love all of the links and poems that were shared and may have a use for a few for our next guild quilt show. Thank you so much everyone for sharing these with us.
