Just a Quilt For Auction Contest
I'm just a poor piece of cloth cut from my mistresses frock and
with a pattern that's seen better days, but Harriot Powers saw me, and said you look special to me.
She was born to a slave in a bygone age when injustice and servitude ruled.
One thing helped her stand tall and helped save her soul and that was her god given faith.
To show her respect she began to sew and to stitch, so as to tell her gods tale
Four quilts told the tale how god will prevail and goodness and truth win the day.
Who would have thought that making a quilt to keep warm, would make her famous today.
As one quilt now hangs with pride on the wall of a very famous hall for the people to see .
Harriott long ago passed by, but now uses her needle and thread with the angels instead
and Its heard often said that Gabriel himself uses one of her quilts on his bed .
Value only 4 quilts in the world one missing this one $1.000.000 to you
