Ah yes. The good old sewing circles where women get together and make things together...like quilts for the cold and for missionaries. I was surprised to find many sewing circle and quilting links when I looked (after reading your poem. Smiles!) A very nice and nostalgic poem. Lovingly, Dane Ann

I have noticed the embroidery on the priest garments on tv..I have not seen that on the Jewish...I have often thought that the work looked like it would be very delicate...Keep the creative pen flowing. Sara
