They Speak of Fat Quarters

they are talking about fat quarters again
if you don’t know what they are, let me run this by you
thimble, needle, Elna, Singer, Brother, White
Could they be referring to astronauts?

If you think that, you are not a quilter
Fat quarters are blocks of fabric sold together
Could be plaids, polka dots, stripes,
But they have something in common, maybe color

There are a variety of quilt styles too
Log cabin, crazy, appliqued, wedding ring.
If you do not speak the language, get out of the sewing room.
We are here to quilt and gab and eat some lemon pie.

Haha! Quite confusing to someone not in the know. My mother and Mother-in-Law were both quilters. My wife is a crocheter and makes baby blankets to donate to the unwed mother's hospital.
