Snippy Sews Sometimes

T'was the night before Christmas, and the quilts were not made. The threads were all tangled, the cookies delayed. The stockings weren't hung, the pantry was bare,the poor weary quilter was tearing her hair.Stacks of fat quarters tipped over in streams.Visions of Log Cabins had turned into dreams. With what to her wondering eyes should appearthan a bus full of quilters with all of their gear.They went straight to work with just a few mutters,sorting and stitching and brandishing cutters.The patterns emerged from all of the clutterlike magic the fabrics arranged in a flutter. Log Cabins, Lone Stars, Flying Geese and Bear Tracks, each quilt was a beauty--even the backs. Her house how it twinkled, her quilts how they glowed. The cookies were baking, the stockings were sewed.Their work was all done, so they folded their frames they packed up their needles, without giving their names. They boarded the bus and checked the next address,more quilts to be made, another quilter in crisis. She heard one voice echo as they drove out of sight, Happy Quilting to all, and to all a good night.

I wish I could take credit for this but I can't. I found this on one of my other groups and just had to share it with all of you.

No sewing done here tonight as I laid down on the couch and slept for the last 3 hours. I'm going to admit defeat and wrap fabric and then take it back to finish projects. I just don't have it in me anymore this holiday season.
