Listen to poem:
Does Quilting Send You *****
by Bob Moore                      

Does Quilting send you *****, my wife buys lots of stuff
I say “look here my dear, you really have enough”
you never know, she says to me, that could be the bit,
I may need to use one day, so I think I should buy it

Her stash is growing every day, the cupboards are all full
draws difficult to open, weight makes them hard to pull
Fat Quarters and the Jelly Rolls, are stacked just everywhere
But she really likes her hobby, so who am I to care

she still cooks and cleans for me, and if I need her she’ll be there
and I’ll help her with advice, guess that’s only fair
now and then there’s quilting classes, and she goes away
it’s quiet when she is not here, and it’s such a real long day

Then she comes home, and in a minute, its chaos once again
with all the things she’s done that day, burned into my brain
“I learn a few new things today, the teachers really good
but some I would do better, I really think I could.”

Yes, quilting is quite the project! It certainly leaves a trail of debris! Lol
