Here is a quilting poem I wrote  Hope you enjoy it!


                                                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!

I'm finally getting back into sewing! I decided to work on some more things to put on my websites catalogue.

so here is a pic of the Star Point quilt block I am working on. It is going to be either a tote bag or a makeup bag or maybe a mugrug LOL  Haven't decided yet. this will be an unfinished 6 1/2" quilt block. I'm using 1 1/2" star point blocks.

This is one of my shortcut block methods which you can find as a free tutorial on here.


Hopefully I'll have it done tomarrow and can show you how it turned out and what it wants to be when it grows up LOL

Wishing you all a Sunshiny day with lots of laughter!!  Rhonda
