'Twas the night before Christmas

And the quilts were not made.

The threads were all tangled, the cookies delayed.

The stockings weren't hung, the pantry was bare.

The poor weary Quilter was tearing her hair.

Stacks of fat quarters tipped over in streams.

Visions of Log Cabins had turned into dreams.

When what to her wondering eyes should appear,

But a bus full of quilters with all of their gear.

They went straight to work with just a few mutters,

Sorting and stitching and brandishing cutters.

The Patterns emerged from all of the clutter,

Like magic the fabrics arranged in a flutter.

Log Cabins, Lone Stars, Flying Geese and Bear Tracks,

Each quilt was a beauty-even the backs.

Her house how it twinkled, her quilts how they glowed.

The cookies were baking, the stockings were sewed.

Their work was all done so they folded their frames

And packed up their needles, without giving their names.

They boarded the bus and checked the next address.

More quilts to be made, another quilter in distress.

She heard one voice echo as they drove out of sight,

Happy quilting to all and to all a good night!

cute!

how does one get added to the list, I wonder? I could use that bus!

Cute I saved it.  How do I get on the weary quilter list???

Cute!!!

cute!!! Thanks for sharing!

Here it is, I found it.  It's time to move back here since the retreat chatter seems to have stopped.  I'm so tired, I have one more day of a retreat I'm attending here locally.  It's at a church camp and luckily I'm 10-15 minutes from home so I come home at night to sleep in my own bed and my own pillow.  You know what these church camp beds are like.  I feel sorry for those ladies that have to stay there because it's too far for them to go home.

Enjoy your retreat Carolyn. What are you working on?

Did you get some of that snow the other day?  We got maybe an inch, but the wind always blows it around!!  Hope your other retreat was fun, but of course not as fun as the AZ retreat!!

enjoy your other retreat!!

was wondering when the phots will get posted to the Shutterfly site? (you being at another retreat answers part of the question!)

We only got a dusting of snow Thursday night and when I drove Friday morning the streets were clear. Dang it was cold.
