The quilt behind me is a Wonky Pathway, with lots of twists and turns. I made that quilt over the past winter.

Lyrics

Chasing Dreams at the Fall Fair
Verse 1:
The fall fair brochure is finally here,
With hopes and dreams, the stakes are clear,
Quilt categories, prizes grand,
For Mary and Emily, it's time to make a stand.

Chorus:
Chasing dreams at the fall fair,
Big prize money, beyond compare,
Emily wants to see the world so wide,
Mary dreams of teaching with pride.

Verse 2:
Emily's eyes are set on distant lands,
Adventure calls with open hands,
She sees her quilt as a ticket away,
To explore new horizons, come what may.

Chorus:

Bridge:
Two sisters, one goal, two different dreams,
In every stitch, their passion gleams,
With fabric and thread, their destiny awaits,
Who will win? It's up to fate.

Verse 3:
Mary's heart is set on books and schools,
To guide young minds, to teach the rules
She sees her quilt as her pathway to start,
A future bright, a teacher’s heart.

Chorus:

Outro:
In the fall fair's glow, their quilts will shine,
With hopes and dreams as their guideine,
Side by side, they stitch and care,
Chasing their dreams at the fall fair.

Get it. Get it. Get it. Your songs always make me smile. As apt with a pen as you are with the mandolin. Your voice is so very rich the music just bursts out of you.

O if you ever want to discuss recording or performance stuff I’m always dow to chew the fat and spill the tea!

This is a lovely subject, and doing a video in front of the quilt makes this even better. Great storytelling.
