Chicky Help: quilting songs (27) RE: Help: quilting songs 12 May 00


The Weavers recorded an Earl Robinson (I think!?) song called the Quilting Bee. As far as I can recall, the lyrics of the first verse are:

Oh, the world is all in pieces
like a crazy quilt
that's lying all apart
all the different colours and the different forms
but put 'em all together and it keeps you warm
Pick up the pieces
Let's do it right
Let's sew 'em all together, make it good and tight
Let's have a quilting
Let's have a quilting
Let's have a great big Quilting Bee

There's a lovely Canadian singer-songwriter, Cathy Miller (currently touring Australia) who is writing a collection of songs about quilting stories. I think she's planning to put out a CD of them this year or next.
