拼布是個大坑，掉進去就出不來。
所以，親愛的姐妹們，欣賞欣賞就好，千萬別去買那些美麗的、勾人魂魄的花邊和布料啊。所以，親愛的男同胞們，看好自己的老婆啊，不然後果很嚴重。讓你的錢包縮水是小事兒，讓你沒飯吃、沒幹淨衣服穿，那可是令人頭痛的大事兒！如果你不信，且看一個拼布人的老公寫的打油詩吧~~~最讓我忍俊不禁的是最後一句：I cursed, I raved, I ranted---The MAID has learned to Quilt! 我詛咒，我漫罵，我咆哮---因為我們家的幫傭也學會了拼布！
My Wife, the Quilter
我的老婆，一個拼布人
She learned to quilt on Monday. Her Stitches were very fine.
星期一，她學會了拼布。她的針法真是不錯。
She forgot to thaw out dinner, so we went out dine.
但她忘了把我們的晚餐解凍，所以我們只好出門果腹。
She quilted miniatures Tuesday. She says they are a must.

They really were quite lovely, but she forgot to dust.
迷你拼布真是可愛，但她卻忘了打掃我們的房屋。
On Wednesday, it was a sampler. She says the stripling's fun.
星期三，要做樣本拼布。她說彎曲壓線技巧很有趣。
What highlights! Oh what shadows! But the laundry wasn't done.
好個凸顯主題！好個陰影處理！但她卻忘了洗衣服。
Her charm quilt was on Thursday. Green patches, blue and red.
星期四是魔法拼布。用的是綠色、藍色和紅色的布。
I guess she relly was engrossed, she never made the bed.
我想她真的是全心投入，因為她從不整理床鋪。
It was wallhangings on Friday, in colors she adores.
星期五，是做壁飾的日子，用的是她喜歡的顏色。
But she never seemed to notice the crumbs on all the floors.

Well, it's already Sunday. I think I'm aboyt to wilt.
