Curves

An easy type of quilting Is to sew two fabric squares Which are pinned and lined up neatly; Nothing else, for ease, compares. Once you make the shapes more complex, Like a triangle or curve, Things might get a little tricky And you need a bit more nerve. I’ve been sewing several years now And still have a way to go, For when stitching points or circles, There’s a lot you have to know. Curves have always proved a challenge And frustration is no fun. Every time I had to sew some, I would backtrack to square one. But I’ve lately had a breakthrough, Which I hope my brain preserves, For my latest little project Has a lot of sneaky curves. Yet I’m tackling them slowly And they’re falling into place. Something clicked - you know that feeling? And a smile is on my face. Now my project, when I finish, Will be far from error-free, But if you check out my curves, I think That you’d be proud of me.
