A Home Is Not A Home...

By Lovely Lyn


“A HOME IS NOT A HOME WITHOUT A QUILT”
A home is not a home without a quilt!
No matter how you love it – no matter how it’s built.
A home is not a home without a quilt!
You may have lovely curtains – pretty paper on the wall
You may have threadbare carpets or even none at all -
BUT – A HOME IS NOT A HOME WITHOUT A QUILT
Do you sometimes look and wonder what’s missing from that chair
Or need to hide unsightly daily wear and tear?
Then I think I have the answer –the answer to your prayer
A quilt is what you need to solve your problem there.
A quilt will bring you comfort and warm you when you’re cold
The colours could be simple or even bright and bold
The pattern can be basic and easy like a square
It could have lots of pieces to make you look and stare
BUT – A HOME IS NOT A HOME WITHOUT A QUILT.
Now don’t just stop at one quilt – go for three or four,
Or five or six or seven – or maybe even more.
Have one for your bedroom, have one for your chairs
Perhaps like someone I know she makes them all in pairs!
Put them on your tables as runners just for fun
Hang them on your walls and when you’re finally done
You’ll join with me in saying
A HOME IS NOT A HOME WITHOUT A QUILT

This certainly is a super poem. As some of the Caverswall Cave Quilters know I like to memorise poems and then recite them to myself when I used to run, (dog walk now since my leg operation. Well this is a fantastic new challenge, I will put the charge of the light brigade to one side
