Got this from one of them in my Project Linus group, and thought others might enjoy it. She said it was read at the conclusion of her aunt's funeral, and her aunt had been a long time quilter and quilt teacher. Hope others enjoy it.
Nancy My neighbor is washing her windows, And scrubbing and mopping her floors, But my house is all topsy and turvy, And dust is behind all the doors. My neighbor, she keeps her house spotless, And goes all day at a trot, But no-one will know in a fortnight If she swept today or not. The task I am at is enticing, My neighbor is worn to a rag, I'm making a quilt out of pieces, I saved in a pretty chintz bag. And the quilt, I know my descendants Will exhibit with credit to me - " So lovely- my grandmother made it Long ago, in 1933." But will her grandchildren remember Her struggles with dirt and decay? They will not - they will wish she had made them The quilt I am making today. Author Unknown |

Love it. :thumbup: Thank you for sharing.
It reminds me of a needlework pic my late mother-in-law made when my kids were babies. Quiet down cobwebs Dust go to sleep, I'm rocking my baby and babies don't keep. |

I HOPE MY SON WILL LOOK BACK UPON TODAY, AND REMEMBER A MOM WHO HAD TIME TO PLAY. FOR IF THINGS WERE DONE, OR THEY WERE NOT, WHO REMEMBERS THE TIME WHEN THEY FORGOT THERE'LL TIME FOR CLEANING HOUSE AND COOKING, FOR LITTLE BOYS GROW UP,WHEN WE'RE NOT LOOKING. author, unknown |
