Weaver's collection
A castle full of mouths that talk about you They tell me your vices that aren't true But all my ears listen are the words my heart speak of you So I dedicate this piece of cloth to crochet something I always knew As the ball of the yarn unravels Our moments flow like a film So I pass a warp...

Premium Member Serging Through Life's Stitches with Scars
Serging through life, I whipstitch, weft, and welt, But always, my thoughts are pick-threading. As stippled patches of emotion rise and fall in me, See me, feel me, touch me, heal me Just too many scars.

Balls and Belles
These rugby-playing girls - or women, should I say? - are so rough and ready, dashing down that field, conveying that oval ball from this end to that, gritting their teeth. Oh, what might!

Premium Member Sewing a New Heart
What are you doing? I asked Little Lee. I am sewing a new heart, said she with glee. What is wrong with the old one? Asked I. It left with a scoundrel, a mean kind of guy. So you just sew up a new one? I asked with surprise. Sure, she said. Come see with your hazel eyes. She was creating...

Premium Member I Run From a Sewing Machine
The daughter of a professional seamstress, I am a tactile learner, I have to feel the possible fabric to make a decision. If it is rough like linen or denim, I am not a fan.
