Crazy Quilt Madness

CRAZY QUILT MADNESS crazy quilt madness, sewn onto muslin squares. nothing square, about these cool croppings. left over scraps become something unique - beautiful, with buttons and floral encryptions - forget me - knots. crazy quilt madness, my life’s serene lift of lived-in patterns, adventurous ascents onto glaciers and mountains, descending waterfalls and into voluptuous valleys. crazy quilt madness of family sorrows, and peeks, weaving in and out of all its metes. a grand landscape of life well-lived. crazy quilt madness: join the therapy group. cut into the cathartic cloth. snip away and sew, yourself, into the freedom of frenetic fancy. leave behind the perfect squares, for the perfect lives, in the perfectly square, cookie cutter log cabins, and join me in wild despair, picking juicy berries of lonely snippets for a “berry” good time under the moon of crazy quilt madness. 9/29/2017

I can absolutely see your story. Perhaps there is something psychological in the bee, but did you have take away that perfectly good shirt just because you hated it?
