The 17″ x 19″ quilt shown above is an example of a quilt that features a written poem on its surface. The poem was composed by a 4th grade student who happens to be the son of quilt artist, Sarah Smith of Maine.
Ancient Earth
by Eli Smith
(copyrighted 2008)
Tracks in the mud carry ancient history
Throughout the water of grizzly man
The tracks hold the hidden secrets of the ancient world
Treasures from beyond the beyond
The riches that time has forgotten
Ancient worlds lost in time forever
Sarah likes to include words on her quilts often.
