A Quilter Gets Organized
by Jenny Riley
My home lacks care, my garden wilts, I’ll have to give up making quilts Once stitching filled an hour or two Now it’s the only thing I do
Even the time to sit and dream Is ousted from my busy scheme Some sense of guilt prefaced my mind Uneasiness…. Vague….ill-defined
I’ll have to change my life around If peace of mind is to be found I love to quilt, well this is true But there’s other things I want to do
I visualise my garden flowers Among them I’ll spend happy hours And trellised roses round the door Fulfill my dreams of multi-flor
I’ll give my fabric stash away Or sell it, then perhaps I may Have cash to spare for many things I don’t have now, like diamond rings.
My old machine, well, cut it loose It won’t be any further use My board and cutter they can go I’m going to watch my garden grow
My family it will be seen Look neat, and each novella cuisine I’m out to prove the day is past When quilts came first and they came last
I’m going to have a trimmer me I can be slim again, you’ll see For years my hobby made me sit Perhaps a gym would make me fit
My quilting groups can have my books Now I’m concentrating on my looks I’ll paint my nails a brilliant hue Might even buy a dress or two
This time there’ll be no compromise The name of the game is organize I won’t need to fiddle the household accounts To buy patchwork fabric in large amounts
I know the decision I’ve made is right I can see my future is looking bright Yes I’ll stick to my plan, resolve my guilt After I’ve made just one more quilt!!
Here are a few acronyms that will educate you and sure to give you a giggle!
