Finishing a Project

I finished a project in quilting, A rare and surprising success. I’m proud of this feat But it never would meet All the standards I’d need to impress. My stitches are rather uneven. One side and the other don’t match, But I made it with care And you cannot compare What you’d buy to what I sewed from scratch. It’s a gift to sweet Hadley* from Nana And I hope that someday she will know That each pull of the thread Can be easily read As a message that I love her so. *my 14 month old granddaughter
