A QUILTER IS
SOMEONE WHO:

By Rosalyn F. Manessee

Saves ten boxes of scraps,

Has one corner of the house an eternal mess,

Buys half a yard of calico,

When on vacation, goes to the fabric store in every town,

Loves flea markets,

Is always looking for new ideas,

Spends sleepless nights thinking about color combinations,

Has a tottering pile of books and magazines in her room,

Visits every five-and-dime,

Is always picking up pins and bits of thread from the floor,

Has a callous on her left index finger,

Is always looking for more quilt patterns,

Begs her friends for remnants, Works for
a year on a quilt, then gives it away,

Watches TV with a needle in her hand,

Is forever ironing,

Is never bored,

Knows one hundred patterns by heart,

Forgets to water the lawn,

Can get it all together,

Finds treasures at a garage sale,

Always has time to help a friend.
