"One Square Inch" (C)  2010
Commercial cotton, hand-pieced, machine quilted

I have a little quilted piece;

I made it twelve by twelve.

Put in an online auction but

Alas, it didn't sell.

I took it to a show and sale

Among my other wares.

Though it received a lot of 'looks'

There were some puzzled stares.

Another show is coming up;

I gather inventory.

This little piece presents itself:

Will someone hear its story?

I have some canvas, nicely stretched,

On which I could attach it,

But still...does it look out of place? 

No other pieces 'match' it.

I like this little quilted piece,

So different from the others.

It makes a statement -- rare for me --

Alone among its brothers.

And so, perhaps, I'll leave it home,

Just put the rest on show.
They say, "Consistency's the key
"To selling art, you know."

I have a little quilted piece;

I pieced it all by hand, 

Remembering one quiet place

In a large and noisy land.
