A Little Bit of History -Auctioneerist Contest
it lives in an old chest
the auctioneer stated eyes fixed on it with a stare
I have a piece of history in my hands
let me show you he said with flair.
it is called a door quilt, he gave it a shake
made the American way ,full of dreams
females would every spare moment take
up the material and sew a few seams
they used them for warmth in those cold winter nights
each square is a talking point a memory a story brought to light
who will start me off with ,$500 the hands raise
up and up the value goes higher
'til it reached the unbelievable price of $3500.
must be a rich buyer.
Was brought by the Quilters Association of America.
used to be hung in their foyer a reminder to all
that a hobby is worthwhile no matter how small.
