Quilt Christmas Poem

'Twas the night before Christmas,

And the quilts were not made.

The threads were all tangled, the cookies delayed.

The stockings weren't hung; the pantry was bare.

The poor, weary Quilter was tearing her hair.

Stacks of fat quarters, tipped over in streams.

Visions of Log Cabins had turned into dreams.

When what to her wondering eyes should appear,

But a bus full of quilters with all of their gear.

They went straight to work with just a few mutters,

Sorting and stitching, and brandishing cutters.

The patterns emerged from all of the clutter,

Like magic, the fabrics arranged in a flutter.

Log Cabins, Lone Stars, Flying Geese & Bear Tracks

Each quilt was a beauty-even the backs.

Her house how it twinkled, her quilts how they glowed.

The cookies were baking; the stockings were sewn.

Their work was all done, so they folded their frames,

And packed up their needles, without giving their names.

They boarded the bus and checked the next address.

More quilts to be made, another quilter in distress.

She heard one voice echo as they drove out of sight,

Happy quilting to all and to all a good night!

Merry, Happy, Quilty Y'all!!

Fidget Blanket (Fummeldecke) Ideas

This will be my first time ever making a fidget blanket- I was so happy to have the opportunity today to gift my Oma a fidget blanket. I love her with all my heart, it just makes me so sad that not much can be done for her while struggling through dementia. She told me it was beautiful and she appeared to like it. I showed her each square and what she can do with it. The first thing she noticed was the wording; „Mit Liebe Gemacht“ which translates to „Made with love“. Oma Hildegard is German and I wanted to make sure she would recognize things and always remember that we love her. What is a Fidget Blanket?
