Happy, happy, joyful Monday!
It may seem a little overboard for most, but I have the day off today. Hurrah!
I'm a teacher of blind and visually impaired students. In this county they take off the Monday before President's Day as a holiday; I like to think of it as Lincoln's Birthday. The following week we have President's Day Holiday. I'm a-shiver with Quilting Time.

OH QUILTING TIME!
(sung to the tune of Oh Christmas Tree)
Oh quilting time, Oh quilting time!
How wondrous are your hours.
Oh quilting time, Oh quilting time
It's like sunshine on the flowers.
I scarce can sleep the night before
As dreams of fabric o'er which I pore
Oh quilting time, oh quilting time,
I toss and turn till comes the dawn.
Oh quilting time, Oh quilting time!
I wake up bright and early
Oh quilting time, Oh quilting time!
My patience holds, but barely.
With fabric cut and iron hot
Machine is ready to sew a lot
Oh quilting time, Oh quilting time
Your wonders are amazing.
Oh quilting time, Oh quilting time!
The hours pass like minutes
Oh quilting time, Oh quilting time!
Too soon my time doth exit.
I long for more dear time with you
Cutting, pinning, sewing too
Oh quilting time, oh quilting time!
Pressing seams is quite divine.
Oh quilting time, Oh quilting time
I count the hours between thee
Oh quilting time, oh quilting time
Come quickly now, I do so plead
Everybody sing!
I didn't even wax this poetic for summer vacation! Sometime ya just hav'ta let it out!
On my design wall today are part this month's blocks for Rainbow Scrap Challenge. This month the color is PINK! I blogged on Saturday about my blocks for the RSC quilters. You can read every pinkalicious detail here.
Here are the five I got done yesterday:
Check out the tabs above for my Quilty Goals for 2014. I've added my January progress. Then check out my Stash Count for January. I'm looking good. Oh yeah!
And thank you so much for dropping by. I love to see that lots of you have looked. I adore comments. Let me know if you sang my song (in a closet or to one you love!)
After you've made it through my blog, singing, oohing and aahhing, trot on over to these blogs that I am sharing with. (Badges on right sidebar).

Love your song and I sang it in my head! I have several of your pink fabrics in my stash, too! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for singing--it makes the song happy! Isn't it funny how you find the same fabrics all over the place in other people's quilts and stashes?
DeleteI didn't know you were a poet... loved (sang it in my head) your song.
ReplyDeleteI also didn't know you taught the sight challenged. That is admirable!
Wow, you sure are linked to a bunch of places - gotta go check it out.
Hugs
I used to write poetry when I was a kid. I don't think I've ever gotten past that level!! Glad you did it the honors of singing it! I love checking out other blogs and seeing what everyone does, so lots of linkys! Happy Monday!
Deletethe song and accompanying picture are do funny!! you go girl! is there chocolate involved today??
ReplyDeleteYou made me laugh with the chocolate remark! I must be the only human on earth that doesn't eat much chocolate and not chocolate candy at all! I'm a taffy, licorice, dots and nuts kinda girl. I'm drinking a diet soda right now, does that count?
DeleteI love your song! Your pink and black blocks are great!
ReplyDeleteYou, my dear, obviously have a very refined taste in music! I think pink and black are a pretty cool combination. Thanks for visiting!
DeleteThe song is wonderful. I'm singing it right now!
ReplyDeleteYou might want to sing it at your next guild meeting...and from there, who knows how far you may go!
DeleteSuch fun pink prints!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm really enjoying them as I don't use pink much. It is so much fun to just to pick some favorite pinks and make them into a block. It's an interesting difference from making a quilt from 4-5 fabrics!
DeleteLOL You are a HOOT! :) A quilting hoot, that is :)
ReplyDeleteFess up! You've been humming that song all day! Thanks for the compliment! It's wonderful when someone enjoys my blog.
DeleteCute song and wonderful pink blocks! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks! I hope you sing the song the next time you and your quilty friends get together. You know how quilters love to laugh! Thanks for visiting my blog! I appreciate that you always look at everyone's blog when they link up with you.
DeleteNo singing here - I have a cold and it would be more like a croaking frog so I'll spare my dh the ear pain. Your snow ball quilt is going to be smashing. Just in the blues and pinks it would be a great little quilt. Can't wait to see what color we get next. I hope we get green soon cuz I have a RSC project I started two years ago that I will pull back out then. Working on the UFOs is top billing for me this year.
ReplyDeleteawesome to hear that you got some quilting time!! love the song and the blocks!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing this at Needle and Thread Thursday!
