baby quilt poem
Kathy D
This quilt is made of cloth and thread
to place upon your little bed.
It's not an heirloom - just to keep,
but to lay upon as you count sheep.
Or perhaps the floor's the perfect place
for a doll and teddy picnic space.
This quilt can be anything you can dream -
from Superman's cape to the robe of a queen.
Pretend it's a raft adrift at sea,
or just cuddle up when you watch TV.
So use it up and wear it out -
I promise I won't yell or pout.
Just tell me when it's days are through,
and I'll make another, just for you.
---Kathy Sherlock
It's OK if your bottle gets spilt.
If you swallow some air
and you burp, don't despair;
It's OK if you spit on your quilt.
There are scraps old and new on your quilt.
Put together for you on yor quilt.
If your gums feel numb
'Cause your teeth haven't come
It's OK if you chew on your quilt.
We expect you to lie on your quilt.
If you hurt, you may cry on your quilt.
On a cold rainy night,
Don't you fret; you're all right;
You'll be snug, warm and dry on your quilt.

Tonight is my first time back on the NG in almost 3 weeks! I was going
through withdrawl!
I noticed this post and had to look. Please, folks, give credit to the
author of the poems if you plan on sharing them. The second poem which has
no author credited was written by my good friend that I just left in
Colorado.
"IT'S YOUR QUILT" was originally published in the Jan./Feb. issue of
Quilter's Newsletter along with an article written by the author. It was
written by Nancy Riddell of Loveland, CO (formally of Estes Park, CO).
I am sure she doesn't mind if anyone uses the poem as long as she is given
credit as the author. I figure that's the least I can do!
Please respect the author of a poem you might use as part of your quilt
label and list them as the author. BTW, the poem below has some minor
errors. Here is the poem as written by the author, and my friend, Nancy.
IT'S YOUR QUILT
It's OK if you sit on your quilt.
It's OK if your bottle gets spilt.
If you swallow some air
And you burp, don't despair;
It's OK if you spit on your quilt.
There are scraps old and new on your quilt.
Put together for you on your quilt.
If your teeth feel numb
'Cause your teeth haven't come,
It's OK if you chew on your quilt.
We expect you to lie on your quilt.
If you hurt, you may cry on your quilt.
On a cold rainy night,
Don't you fret; you're all right;
You'll be snug warm and dry on your quilt.

My sentiments exactly!
I have verses all over the quilt lists and on some web pages and I EXPECT to be
recognized as the author. The verses ARE copyrighted, so it's a legal
obligation.
On another list I claimed my author's rights -- and got chewed out by a member
for being vain! Well --- maybe a little, but the point was that I am not
anonymous and all my stuff goes out with my signature firmly attached.
There are lots of interesting and clever writings floating around -- but they
weren't generated by spontaneous combustion, so if you know who the author is,
please give credit!

all the
relevant author data to myself. When next I have a reason to copy it for
someone, Nancy* will* get the credit due her!
