Stitching our Hearts Together

Here are our almost finished quilt tops,
and a few thoughts from our
favorite poet of everyday life. - GJ

"The world is filled with bustle and with selfishness and greed,
It is filled with restless people that are dreaming of a deed.

You can read it in their faces; they are dreaming of the day
When they'll come to fame and fortune and put all their cares away.

And I think as I behold them, though it's far indeed they roam,
They will never find contentment save they seek for it at home.

The peace that is the sweetest isn't born of minted gold
And the joy that lasts the longest and still lingers when we're old
Is no dim and distant pleasure - it is not tomorrow's prize,
It is not the end of toiling, or the rainbow of our sighs.

For the only happy toilers under earth's majestic dome
Are the ones who find their glories in the little spot called home."

- From The Home Builders by Edgar A. Guest
