Have you ever made a quilt? I have. it’s one of the most therapeutic and calming things I’ve ever done. and I had a huge sense of accomplishment when I finished.
Both of my grandmothers made quilts, my mama did, and my aunt jeannie did. I loved to open that big box at christmastime knowing it was a quilt that one of them had made. I was so flattered that after all the time and energy they had spent on that quilt, they had selected me to receive it. even as a young girl, I knew a quilt was a gift I would cherish always.
Back when I was living at home, I remember during the winter months mama would set up her sewing machine in the living room over by the window. at night when we’d all be in there watching tv after supper, mama would be over at her sewing machine, making another quilt from the scraps left over
From a dress or blouse she had made for one of us earlier.
Then, when she had sewn all the squares sewn together, she’d lay the batting on the living room floor, lay the quilted piece on top of that, and then start tacking it down. when that was completed, she’d sew the border around it. then it was finished. all that remained was for mama to decide who would be the proud recipient of her precious handiwork which represented so many hours of love.
I feel very blessed to have received one of mama’s quilts. I sleep under it every night I’m home. it doesn’t match the fancy comforter we bought in los angelos, but it feels better than anything you can imagine. just because I know my mama made it just for me.
When daddy’s mother died in 1950, one year before my sister alice was born, mama got the trunk that held all of the quilts, china, crystal, silverware, and knickknacks that grandma had collected during her lifetime. mama discovered that grandma’s trunk also included a few quilt pieces that she had started but had never finished. my sister susie eventually wound up with those quilt pieces and we all figured she would finish them out and keep them for herself.
But as only susie would do, she cut the makings of the quilt into four squares, had them quilted, put a picture of grandma mcentire and a descripion of the quilt ogether, and had them framed for alice’s, my brother pake’s, and my christmas present.
That’s how thoughtful susie is. she could have kept the quilt for herself, but, instead, she shared with her brother and sisters something so special, which had belonged to a woman none of us had ever met. that’s part of susie’s charm.
That’s also the charm of a quilt. like a mother, it wraps it’s arms around you-sosoft, yet so sturdy, and so comforting. in my grandma’s time the sewing of a quilt would bring friends and neighbors together, and in quilting circles today that lovely tradition continues. now we live in a time when so many women do not even have a sewing machine in their home and when country quilts hang in the fanciest boutiques and galleries selling as "decorative art." that would sure give my grandma and her circle a good laugh and more than a few shakes of the head.
Can you just imagine the visiting, the stories, and the fellowship that have gone on during the making of all the wonderful quilts through the years? and can you imagine all the children who have been tucked in securely underneath them in their beds night after night? and us adults too?
That’s what you call "comfort from a country quilt." I hope this book is as comforting to you as my mama’s quilt has always been to me. like a quilt, this book is made up of small pieces of material-some of my favorite stories, memorable experiences, and more than a few opinions-written, rather than sewn, from the stuff of my life. I have stitched these pieces together with my sincere hope that you will find the "quilt" of a book friendly, warm, and enjoyable, something you can turn to for comfort and entertainment and for sharing with friends and family.
So grab your favorite quilt, wra up, get comfortable, and enjoy.
From me to you.
Love,
Reba

My room 3am
music blasting out of that system
Miller light in my hand
the only other thing I got is my problems
And when life starts pushing down
I just jack up that stereo
And leave this freakin' town
You know the sound don't belong to anyone
You can take it if you need it
Or just go it alone
There ain't nothing realer in this world
Than when mistress music takes control
And it just keeps pushing me forward
Sun rising through the blinds
Another night I left behind
Neighbors pounding on the wall
But I don't give a fuck at all
Turn it up and tune it out
There ain't no sense in listening
To something you don't care about
You know the sound don't belong to anyone
You don't have to justify it
You just take it if you want
And there ain't nothing purer in this world
Then when me and her
are just pushing across the floor.
And it just keeps pushing me forward
Forward into something better
[Intro:]

Now I walk as I'm waiting for eternity
Attained in time but beyond my own ability
My will, my will is broken
Makes the beginning easier to see
Why are your eyes so fixed
So hard to see beyond
Why are your eyes so fixed on this world
Before we're broken down
Look beyond this world
This temporary shell
Its own fading signs of hope
At times resembling hell
Look beyond this world
Its time is fading fast
Seek the things eternal
And you won't fear
Chorus
I'm moving forward, I can't go back (2x)
I'm moving forward, I can't go
I'm moving forward, moving forward
Vs 1
Feeling hopeless seems like nothing's going my way
Giving up is never an option even on my worst day
I know that I was put here to make it to the finish
So I press on when others quit
Pre chorus
Forward, I am moving forward
Chorus
Vs 2
When it seems the past is trying to stop
I'm forgetting those things that are behind me
I have got my eyes set on the prize
I can't lose sight, I'm moving on
Pre chorus
Chorus
Bridge
All the sweat and the tears I cried
Had me seeing that I was born to win
Got a new destination in mind and that's forward
I won't stop until I get there
I wish I just could improve myself
I wish I could move somewhere else
I wish I just could improve myself
I wish I could move somewhere else
Achievement would be being glad with myself
I wish I just could improve myself
I wish I just could move forward
Achievement would be being glad with myself
I wish I just could improve myself
I wish I could be a better myself
I wish I just could improve myself
I wish I could be a better myself
No word is left unspoken until we reach the final stage Where our vision gets more clear and our thoughts are made real the point of no return has been passed so long ago All exits have been cancelled, There is just one way to go
We go forward
Forward, we go forward to see what lies behind Our endless dreams of progress will be our guiding light Forward, we go forward to see what lies behind The neverending, countless stars never seemed so bright
We go forward
No deed is left undone until we reach the final goal Where we create our heaven on earth by our thoughts that are pure In time we learn to see what was right and what was wrong For now we cannot stop there is just one way to go
We go forward
Forward, we go forward to see what lies behind Our endless dreams of progress will be our guiding light Forward, we go forward to see what lies behind The neverending, countless stars never seemed so bright
one two three
forward
we can hit the floor now
forget
everything i've told you
one night
is all you really need
but time is stuck
no time is enough
one two three
forward
we can touch the sky now
forget
everything i've told you
one night
is all you really need
but time is stuck
no time is enough
we shoot
so far
so high
don't read me
don't believe me
so far
your hold shows
no one can touch
no one can follow
kill the dawn
kill the alarm
kill the song
one two three
forward
is all i can see
forget
the prints from your feet
one life
is all i'll ever need
the time is soon
time is moving
one two three
As the symbols are ingrained and the skylines erected
In the blood of or offspring the earth of tomorrow is soaked
When the breaking light of another day shall dawn for man
The willing host of the ill ones
Shall inhabit the wastelands
Poison
Instinct
Boneless
Confining walls
Weak flesh
Crawling
Prison
Our plastic perfection is a thin disguise
A sickness sculptured by faithful hands
Ours is the illusion - Even in death
As the hedonist shadows swallow mankind
Flesh and bone were to fall in the end
Forward
Willing
Sickness
Into marble halls
Plastic
Fragile
Surface
The faithful hands
Weak flesh
Crawling
Prison
Forward
Willing
Sickness
Into marble halls
Forward
Plastic
Fragile
When did you run away?
How is it far from here?
Only look back when the futures not so clear.
Wondering around the room.
Everythings in its space.
I'm the only thing that dosen't fit in this place.
Whom I supposed to be.
Falling while I'm standing still.
Do I deal so willingly with the fact I lost the will.
My sad song saves me.
My down days feel right.
I dream of a didn't know what keeps me up at night.
Forward, forward, forward, I go forward.
Steady as I don't go.
Thrown into I don't know.
Can I ever let myself, just let myself go.
Floating down the stairs.
No one knows I'm near.
I shout at the shawdows,"Don't let me catch you here!"
Lingering on the porch.
Breathing till I'm bored.
Caught between a prison gate and a wide open door.
Pushing from within.
Everythings not fine.
Tonight I'm going to take back, take back what's mine.
I'm going to take back what's mine.
I'm going to take back what's mine.
Never find me here, never find me here.
I'm always making things out to
be more than what they really are.
Without questioning, seeking, and changing,
how can we be expected to move too far?
I can't sit content or conditioned by what others may say.
I fight apathy and complacency to hopefully make a dent.
In this I pray.
Pressing forward to open blind eyes.
Looking on to see what's deep inside.
Moving closer to first change ourselves,
never willing to abide to this world's lies.
No I won't listen to this world's lies.
Sometimes I feel so afraid of what I might be searching for.
Why do I look for an easy way out?
As my failure keeps haunting me the answer's in my reach.
I won't give up, I have no doubts in what lies ahead of me.
