(Sung to the tune of "A Few of My Favourite Things")
Pfaffs
and Janome, Bernina and Husky
rulers and cutters and pins that aren't
rusty
Tension that's even and geese with their
wings
These are a few of my favourite things.
Walking
feet, needles and threads of all colours
Patterns and fabrics and hot tea with
crullers
Quarter inch seams that i sew while I
sing
These are a few of my favourite things.
When
the thread breaks, when the blade's
nicked, when my points look sad
I simply remember my favourite things,
and then I don't feel so bad.
Trips
to the US and stops at the border
Who knew that I would become such a
hoarder
Stashes get bigger and credit cards sing
These are a few of my favourite things
Books
and design walls, scissors and cotton
Appliqué, ditch stitch and piecing
that's spot on
Free motion quilting that goes round in
rings
These are a few of my favourite things
When
the day's done, and my brain's numb, and
I'm going mad
I may be off kilter but I am a quilter,
and so I don't feel so bad.
