THE QUILT

the quilt has always held a warm spot in my old heart... My grandmother had them, and made them... reminds me of a time when there were few worries for me... and those things are warm! enjoyed your write... Richard

of them made by my mama and my grandma, my wife has several made by both her grandmas and he mama. There is nothing nicer than a quilt made by the loving hands of those near and dear to you.

Linda, I felt touched reading your poem. There is so much warmth of your inner feelings in it.

Although well written . I can't help but feel there is something missing in this poem I love the basic idea of the poem Chrys

EXCELLENT KEEP IT UP UR FRIEND, ZARUL

A wonderfull poem. Quilt is a symbol of warmth. You slip below it for comfort and warmth -the warmth of love. The delicate feeling while stitching it with unshared concentration is sublime. Beautiful imagery. Keep it up Linda. Mohammad

I wish I had the patience to undertake quiltmaking. They yield such a beautiful result, but boy do I hate sewing! ~Jess K. ---------------------------------------------------- -"The fortunes of fables are able To see the dawn Now witness the quickness with which We get along To sing the blues you've got to live the dues and Carry on." - CSN&Y
