Acrostic Quiltmaking? Sharing Poetry? Try Yours!
Quilting poems and stories have great appeal. Why not write some of your own? Or share those you write? I often work with youngsters in poetry writing. We find the acrostic form frequently is easiest for them to start with.
What about an Acrostic Quilting Poem? This can rhyme, be unrhymed, tell a story, give random facts, relate a family’s quilting history. You can use a word, phrases or complete sentences. That’s why they’re so much fun…you can set your own rules.
Mine is sort of a random list of acrostic facts. But it has me thinking about one that tells a story or relates my Trails End Quilting heritage.
Q- Quiltmaking forms a bond among quilters of any age.
U - Use up those scraps with family memories for a unique quilt.

T - Time passes too quickly when you’re involved in a quilting project and housework doesn’t get done.
