Grandaddy's Garden Quilt Block












Why am I happy that I was born?

Just one reason (in season):

SWEET CORN!
                               by James Stevenson

On the back porch this morning
Threads of yellow silk
Are scattered where the corn
Was husked at twilight -
Zig-zags, scribbles, loops, and swirls.
I'm not quite sure,
But I think they say,
What a party!

    I remember the days of bleached hair - the color of corn! Darling block - very intricate.
