Quilting With Grandma (a poem)

Quilting with Grandma
Holds many memories
Of sitting beside her woodstove
Cutting and sewing pieces of
Multi-colored hues.
Chatting with Grandma
As we did our handiwork
Resulted in tales
About friends and family,
Forming generational bonds.
Tying the quilt with Grandma,
Auntie and Miz Susie
Around the dining table;
What pleasure for a child
At a grown-ups’ gathering.
Finding Grandma’s quilt,
After half a century,
Though worn and torn
It brings back many images
Of my quilting heritage.
