Pre-cut Strips, Two-Inch Charms
Sung to the tune of Jingle Bells.
Pre-cut strips, two-inch charms, how we love them all!
Oh what fun it is to piece a quilt that’s large or small.
Large-scale prints, stripes and dots, calicoes for fall,
When we play with needle and thread we always have a ball.
Dashing through our stash, on a search for something blue,
Can’t find the right shade, must need something new!
To the shop we flash, for the perfect blue.
Some batiks and novelties will come home with us too!

Tillie, the Red-Thumbed Quilter
Sung to the tune of “Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer.”
Tillie, the red-thumbed quilter,
Had a very well pricked thumb.
And if you ever saw it,
You would think it must be numb.
All of the other quilters
Sympathized and gave advice,
Some even talked about her,
Which was never very nice!
Then one fateful Christmas Day
Tillie was heard to say,
“Dearie me, my thumb’s so sore,
“I can’t hand-quilt anymore.”
But all her friends said, “Oh no!
“Tillie you must never stop!”
So they gave Tillie thimbles,
And took her to a fabric shop.
Oh Come, All Ye Quilters
Sung to the tune of Oh Come All Ye Faithful.
Oh come, all ye quilters,
Time for motivation!
Oh come ye, oh come ye to The Big Quilt Show.
Come and behold them, all the glorious fabrics.
Oh come see mitered borders,
And perfectly matched corners,
Admire some applique at
The Big Quilt Show.
Oh, there’s the winning quilt,
What an inspiration!
I am glad I came to see The Big Quilt Show.
Look at that landscape quilt! See the one with beadwork?
I see some tiny hexagons,
And wonderful hand-quilting!
Perhaps one year my quilt will win
The Big Quilt Show.
We Wish You a Merry Christmas
Sung to the tune of We Wish You a Merry Christmas.
We wish you a Merry Christmas,
But here we are at an impasse.
Is quilt-making in the forecast
For a Happy New Year?
We don’t want figgy pudding,
Just one thing will make our hearts sing.
Some nice time to spend on quilting
Will bring us good cheer!
Good tidings to you, wherever you be.
Good tidings, and time for quilting,
In a Happy New Year!

Christmas is over, the gifts stripped of their wraps,
