10 GOOD REASON TO BUY FABRIC
1 It insulates the cupboard where it is kept
2 I participating in a contest.... The one who dies with the most fabric wins.
3 I t keeps the economy moving- it is my duty to support cotton farmers, textile mills and fabric shops
4 It is less expensive and more fun then psychiatric care.
5 It keeps without refrigeration, you dont have to cook it to enjoy it, and you never have to feed it, change it, wipe its nose or walk it
6 Because I'm worth it.
7 Like dust.... Its good for protecting previously empty spaces in the house, like ironing boards, the laundry baskets, the spare bed
8 Its not immoral, illegal or fattening. it calms the neves, gratifies the soul and makes me feel good.
9 Because it was on sale.
10 BUY it now, before your husband retires and goes with you on all your shopping expeditions

My bathroom's full of bottle of pills
they'll cure all kinds of aches and ills
This ones for this, that one's for that
Got enough pills to fill a hat
I don't take them, not anymore
Not since I went to the fabric store
The colors soothe me, the fabric so grand
while at the cutting table I stand
I don't need a pill my sanity to keep
I don't need a pill to help me sleep
With my large stash I can sew at will
There's just no time to take a pill

Addicted to Quilting

She Learned to Quilt on MONDAY.
Her stitches all were fine
She forgot to make us dinner
So we all went out to dine

She quilted miniatures on TUESDAY
she says they are a must
They really were quite lovely
But She forgot to dust

On WEDNESDAY it was a sampler.
She says stippling's fun
What Highlights What Shadows!
But The LAUNDRY was'nt done

Nine Patches were on Thursday
Green,Yellow,Blue and red.
I guess she really was engrossed
She never made the Bed.

It was wall hangings on Friday.
In colors she adores
It never bothered her at all
That crumbs were on the floor

I found a maid on SATURDAY
My week is now complete
My wife can quilt the hours away
The house will still be neat

Well, now its only SUNDAY
I think I,m about to wilt
I cursed,I raved,I ranted
Cause the Maid has learned to QUILT !

I found this in a 1985 magazine called "Quilt World - Omni Book". I printed and post it on my wall. Would you believe the magazine was only "$1.75"


BROKEN DISHES

Grandmothers Flower Garden
Holds a special Wild Rose,
All Around The World
No other garden knows,
An Old Maids Puzzle surely
But twas Clays Choice, that I know.
Wedding Rings were shining
On that blessed Sharon Rose.
Now, the Log Cabin lies deserted
Broken Dishes on the floor.
The Wedding Ring that warmed it
Is gone forevermore.
A Storm At Sea, Ocean Waves
Covered her loved one o'er,
And the Wild Rose above er grave
Jobs Tears will mist once more.

Fabric

I try to live each day
In such a way
That when tomorrow makes today a yesterday
I will have woven into the fabric of my life
Some gay design,
Some patch of color,
Bright, to please the eye.
So that, in the graying years to come,
When all the quick responsive senses dull,
I may look back across the patterns of my past
And, in my memory,
Live the joys and pains
Of all my yesterdays.
