Tiny Stitches My life is patterned On a crazy quilt Fabric pieces of my past Moods pivoting around in Yellow and red Mixed with a somber brown Pulling that crazy quilt Around my shoulders Drawing comfort from within With my hand I will follow The tiny stitches Along a textured course Some stitches are wider Ones I did as a child Others more even and precise Now with age my hand trembles Cataracts cover my eyes Leaving me searching for the needle I’m taking a journey Along a fabric trail One stitch at a time A small group of ladies in Andover, Kansas get together the first Tuesday of the month to make prayer quilts to be give away to those in need. After nearly 25 years together the bond of friendship we've made while quilting has helped each of us through the tough times in our own lives. We are doubly blessed as we visit, share private matters or health concerns, while pulling needles through fabric. Over time our lives have become woven together, friends forever. |
