Taking up the fabric

So you took up the fabric
And needled the thread,
Then sat at the table
To which you were led
By eight lovely maidens,
And I know that you thought
Of the chance that they might
Even notice you brought
Them a part of a sentence,
A couple of words,
A spelling of some
Calligraphical birds,
Who creep into a room
When nobody sees
And bang their wings loud
Like a tapdancing breeze,
And remind them of something
They felt long before
They noticed the patchworking
Strips on the floor.

I shall tell you much more of my wonderful Sewjourn weekend, but for the moment I'm pleased to give you the original cast members.

What a wonderful wonderful time I had with them!!!
