T-shirt Masterpiece


After 5 years of dreaming
35 plus t-shirts-
free and bought for
clean and dirty
all with memories
of people, places, times-
and 5 pairs of torn jeans
(some even with paint still attached)
it's done


After almost no measurements involved
and lots of redefining what it means to be square
and some very sloppy hems
it's done


After countless episodes of Psych
and Mythbusters
and even Twin Peaks
multicolored spools of thread
and the left-over spools from other things
it's done


After sewing machine trouble
and confusion and woe
and the thump and the bump
of the hand-me-down Viking 5710
it's done

 

After 100 square inches 
(that's larger than king size)
of cutting
and sewing
and ripping
and tearing
and sewing again
making good use of color
and logo to spare
my t-shirt and jean quilt
is finally done!


(the picture shows both top (with logos) and bottom (solid colors))

it's done!
