Quilting Day to Day
By Ruth Y. Nott
Copyright 2002



Sometimes simple, sometimes complex,
life goes from woof to weave.
Sometimes scrappy, sometimes precise,
are the patterns we conceive.

But when our days pucker and pull
and all come apart at the seams,
and we don't quite know what happened,
and don't know what it all means,
just ask the Teacher for his advice
and quickly you will find
it's all sorted out in perfect order
on the tabletop of your mind.

Your colors will brighten and always hold true
when they shine in His light from above.
Your seams will be straight and each block will square
when they're all sewn together with love!
