The sun it shone brightly
The leaves they glowed gold -
Fine weather for quilting
And just a tad cold.
Our quilters were ready,
They rose with the larks.
Their bags were all packed
For a day at St Mark's.
There was no holding back,
Our quilters don't wilt.
When it comes to creating,
It's quilts at full tilt!
Di Two shared her quilting,
Explained how it's done,
While binding a Blanket
of Love claimed Di One.
Michelle played with felt
And she stitched up a tree
While a "Cat in the Hat" quilt
Absorbed our Di Three.
There was chat as we sat
With a cuppa that calms,
And Susie popped in
With fabric-filled arms.
Margaret's our pink 'queen',
There's no-one to beat her
And someone who also
loves pink is Perdita.
In hexagon heaven
Were Gillian and Gail
Their quilts will be treasured
No way they can fail.
Sue One sewed a sweet
baby quilt all in blue
And look at this paper-pieced
Heart by Sue Two
The "S" Team made quilts
In their favourite brights
With space monsters,
Panels and other delights.
Barb worked on her binding
And added a label,
Liz cut out cute dinosaurs
On the side table.
Our needles worked hard
Going stitch
Stitch
Stitch
Stitch
Piecing fabric together
To quilt in the ditch.
We stitched all day long
From "hello" to "adieu"
We stitched and
the
pile
of quilts
steadily
grew.
From bright shades to pastel,
We stitched every hue.
In case you're still doubtful
We love what we do.
We'll be back next month,
The same time and place too,
To do it again
With our passionate crew.
