Stitch

Stitch

 

 

those remaining quilts

still cover me, although tattered

and worn

like my sorrow

at not being able to hear your laugh

help you with your crossword

share stories with you and vice-versa

 

those remaining quilts

still warm my heart

if not all of my body, these days

everyday use uses up my memories

but not so much they don't keep me comforted

 

the designs are a bit faded

but watching you stitch them?

that is a photo

still very clear in my repertoire 

of book marked days

 

shared with you.

Those stitch quilts of wool were all the rage in the sixties and I think into the seventies. Made with love and to an extent made to last beyond its maker.

I wore most of mine out...but still have a couple she made for me when she was still able enough to do them.
