    Hey diddle diddle, the cat and the fiddle, the cow jumped over the moon. Quilted around the border of a baby quilt.

    What a great question! I really have to think about that one! The first poem that came to mind was Joyce Kilmer’s tree poem, because I love quilts with tree or leaf designs. But a song…? I’m going to be humming to myself all day trying to come up with a quilty song choice. Thanks for such a fun topic Lori!

    I did one over 10 years ago that was inspired by “Bread and Roses.” It was written by a man for women who were seeking better working conditions about 100 years ago. I have it on a Judy Collins CD. When my kids were both in college I finally had time to make the quilt.

      I see trees of green red roses too
      I see them bloom for me and you
      And I say to myself What a wonderful world

    I just got chicks in May, and I keep singing:
    “Talk a little, pick a little, talk a little, pick a little, cheep, cheep, cheep, talk a lot, pick a little more”
    That’d be fun on a chicken-themed quilt. 🙂

    LOTS of great ideas here!

    For the Beauty of the Earth! My daughter and I just put together a quilt top full of Alaska batiks we have been collecting together-most are animals-otters, moose, whales, salmon, ptarmigans, in greens and blues.

    for a refugee – A John Denver song – This is for the refugee. It was a scrap quilt with white lettering stitched into the quilt. I have since lost touch with the lady, who was a white Zimbabwean who came to the UK.

    I’m working on a Happy Birthday quilt with candles, presents, ice cream cones, cupcakes, pinwheels, and the letters Happy Birthday. It’s going to a family of 5 so am going to stitch their names on top of the ice cream cones.

    A few years ago I made a fractured landscape quilt inspired by Robert Frost’s poem, “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening”. Of all of the quilts that I’ve made it’s my favorite. I learned the technique from a book, “Winter Trees” by another Kennedy, Jane Kennedy. Everyone who knows me thinks it’s funny that I like this poem and made this quilt because they all know that I do not like snow!

    ‘Good morning starshine’ (the earth says hello…you twinkle above us, we twinkle below…). I made a quilt for my grandson with lots of apliqued star shaped flowers in the botton part of the quilt on a green patched background echoing stars in the top of the quilt appliqued on a blue patched background. I loved making that quilt.

    For “real” quilt songs go to
    Cathy Miller, the singing quilter
    She is “a stitch”, but unfortunately has retired.

    Such a fun topic. I haven’t come up with a song but I sure had many going through my head reading all these replies. Only a couple I didn’t know.

    Polly, I think that I could only make the same choice as you have already put a claim to.
