I Went to a Fun and Informative Quilt Meeting at Marilyn Steele's Home.

Lament of the Quilter's Husband

She learned to quilt on Monday,

Her stitches were so very fine.

She forgot to thaw out dinner,

So we went out to dine.

She quilted miniatures on Tuesday,

She says they are a must.

They really were quilt lovely,

But she forgot to dust.

On Wednesday it was a sampler,

She says the stipplings fun.

What highlights! Oh what shadows!

But the laundry wasn't done.

Her charm quilt was on Thursday,

Green patches, blue and red.

I guess she really was engrossed,

She never made the bed.

It was wall hanngings on Friday,

In colors she adores.

But she never seemed to notice,

The crumbs on all the floors.

I found a maid on Saturday,

My week is now complete,

My wife can quilt the hours away,

The house will still look neat.

Well it's already Sunday,

I think I'm about to wilt.

I cussed, I raved, I ranted,

The maid has learned to quilt.
