Well, its time my wonderful scraps, my friends
Our family basket is filled to the brim, a myriad of
Patterns, textures, and colors oh the colorful blends
Combinations plentiful, elegant chintz’s, lovely
Cottons, warm fleeces, blissful batiks, soft satin’s
Silks, Tartans, tweeds, corduroys, crisp linens
Most bought, many recycled, while others found.
Cut, snip, cut them out, cutting squares, trimming
Edges, placing pieces into piles around me, gather
The leftovers cleanup the scrapings, ready the threads,
Make ready the basket for the fun ahead.
A break for tired hands and sore fingers, cuppa tea
Some biscuits ana break, a moments rest, collect, and
Refresh ones thoughts, and move on.
