feffertim who has won Edyta Sitar's A Few of My Favorite Threads Collection.
Here is feffertim's winning poem:
How to overcome the guilt
When all I want to do is quilt
How to make myself fix food
When I am only in the mood
To sit and sew,and piece and press
That's all I want I must confess
Does my husband need clean socks
Wait, I'm working on my blocks
Put the lid on my machine
So that I can go and clean ?
I think not, I'd rather sew.
But theres one thing that I know
I just really love the thrill
Of sewing with my Aurifil
It would be a grand surprise
If I could only win this prize.
Picture me with my obsession
With Aurifil in my possession.
YEAH !!!
