Aunt Nancy's Quilting Bee

Hi!  I'm so glad you stopped by.  Please help yourself to a cup of coffee or tea and one of Grandma Lyn's yummy muffins.  Click on the recipe book to view some of her recipes.  

In days of yesteryear folks gathered for quilting bees where they all pitched in and helped make the quilt.  We'll be doing the same thing - you contribute to my quilts and I will yours.  

The Patchwork Quilt

Life isn't given to us all of a piece, 
It's more like a patchwork quilt - 
Each hour and minute a patch to fit in 
To the pattern that's being built.

With some patches light - and some patches dark, 
And some that seem ever so dull - 
But if we were given  to set some apart, 
We'd hardly know which to cull.

For it takes the dark patches to set off the light, 
And the dull to show up the gay - 
And somehow, the pattern just wouldn't be right 
If we took any part away.

No, life isn't given  us all of a piece, 
But in patches of hours to use, 
That each can work out his pattern of life 
To whatever design he might choose.
