Quilts are such beautiful treasures That helps make a home cozy In the firelight of the freezing winter We feel comfortable and toasty And the Mennonite ladies have An extraordinary kind of ability That is created from their fingers With a tremendous amount of creativity For you see, the sky is the limit When it comes to their designs As they cut and stitch together Whatever pattern comes to mind Grouped together with tradition These ladies enjoy a quilting bee Then quilts are placed on display For everyone to see So many ways to adorn them With buttons, ribbon and lace Passed down to many generations An heirloom that folks can embrace Sometimes they are given As a gift for a birthday or a wedding And isn’t it a wonderful thing? Such a treasure they’ll be giving!
