Sweet Comfort

Grandmother's Quilt

A tattered quilt all frayed and torn,
Beneath whose warmth a child once slept.
A memeory in each patch is kept
From clothing long ago well worn.

This cherished quilt brings back the touch
That wiped away a tiny tear,
And softly rocked while giving cheer...
Sweet comfort always treasured much.

Now generations feel the love
Of someone they have never known;
The seeds of love forever sown
By Grandma, smiling from above.

How sweet. It brings a tear to my eye as I have a quilt from my Grandmother's home although I have no idea who made it. I hope the quilts I make are treasured for generations to come.

Hugs!

That is a very pretty poem. I borrowed it for my facebook page. Also, wanted to say that your quilts are beautiful, seeing them has made me want to quilt. I read your blog almost everyday you have a lot of pretty pictures and ideas to share. Hope you are having a great day.
