Are You Safe?

Is your fabric addiction a serious case?
Can you pass a quilt shop without stopping?
For the fabrics you buy, do you have enough space?
Is your life devoted to shopping?
Then take warning and beware
If quilting is a new passion:
Exposure to quilt shops and the fabrics therein
Is a thing the susceptible should ration.
Be sensible, strong and limit your visits
To these dens of textilean seduction.
Say ‘No’ now and then just to show that you can.
Claim you are practising safe stash reduction.
It may well not help — once you have been hooked
On the thrill of the fabric chase,
Nothing can quite compare to the feeling you get
When your acquisitions are home and in place.

But then I thought they were grand!
The pattern was harder than I should have tried,
But it turned out pretty well –
Galloping by on a horse at midnight
The mistakes are hard to tell!
It was finished and shown off proudly,
It was cherished and used a lot.
Like one’s first love it is remembered –
Not perfect but never forgot.
