Quilt Frames

A song about the many hours that I spent on the floor of the attic playing with whatever I found in the closets and watching my grandmother quilt above me.

Lyrics:

Looming structure, spindly wooden frame.
Kaleidoscope of colored scraps.

Thimbles, calloused thumbs, always working,
Stitch-by-stitch by hand, with love.

Piles of pillows, Aztec inspiration.
A bed made of quilts.

Tunneling layers of warmth, always waiting
Stitched by stitch, by hand, with love.
