Quilting quilting as we go
Where it ends we do not know
One day we started and
Now we can't stop!
One bright fabric I see
then there were three
Oh me oh my I believe
They are calling to me!!!!
I shopped and hopped
til I hopped no more
I'm done! I declared
As I lay on the floor!
But one more fabric
Beckoned me more!
I wished and wished
As I went out the door!
For just one more sale
Which should be my last!
But I guess the quilt pixies
Had to have the last laugh!
I saw blues and reds
and yellows galore
They had browns and greens
That filled the store!
Colors danced and cavorted
Round my poor head
as I stared at the racks
filled with quilts for my bed!
Plaids and Cottons and
Batiks by the bolt!
Stacks of Homespun that
Gave me a jolt!
I needed them all
but my money was low
I hoped and I hoped
for a sale don't ya know!
From the corner of my eye
I spied the very thing!
A 50 per cent off sale!
Yes! Now I can sing!!
I get to buy some
Of all of those prettys
Now to go home and
Make quilts for my Kiddies!
Oh My! Happy days!
I will be able to say!
It won't be my last!
But I had a great day!
