I enjoyed your colorful artwork selection and poem, both "threaded" and "quilted" with memories. Your additional use of alliteration intensifies the mood. Big cheers- Joan

Very good short poem that says a lot about the past. I do not think that many people sew. It is beginning to be a lost art. Everyone is too busy with their lives to just sit down and enjoy something.

Thank you so much!! I am glad you like it. nearly every woman in my family quilts (except me, I garden) and they are so good at it. When I saw that art, I remembered the bits and pieces of their lives and work that they do. Much appreciated.

Melissa,
I like the imagery: grandma - threads/bits of her life - lingers on
'quilted memories' is an excellent phrase - so descriptive in your verse and exemplified in the illustration

Thank you very much, Mark. I have several quilters in my family and that verse resonates about how everyone is made up of bits of life.
All the best,
Melissa
