Thank you to everyone who helped me finish my poem. You all had great ideas, and some were so similar! Great minds think alike, obviously.
I wish I could send each of you something, but the postage might get to be a bit much for my budget. My plan was to choose as winner the one with the lines I liked best, but about half way through the contest, I came up with lines that I feel best represent my personal thoughts on the subject:
I pray that I may crazy quilt until my dying day!
And when it comes to my last stitch I then most humbly pray;
When to the Lord's great nimble hands my spirit starts to soar,
That in His mercy I be judged a UFO no more!
I suppose it only makes sense to those of us who know what a UFO is in quilt-speak. For those who don't know, it is an Un-Finished Object.
Leslie had the finishing line that most closely matched the thought behind mine:
That in his mercy I be judged embellished enough to keep!
So I declare Leslie the winner, and she may now choose her prize: some CQ stash or a finished CQ item!

Goodness! Thank you Janet! I'm sooo surprised! :) Stash it is I guess! LOL!!
Janet, I love your poem the best! I bet if you were to stitch that on a CQ-ey item for the next Retreat Chinese Auction, it would be THE hot thing. I know I`d be stealing it! (hint, hint). :-) Hugs, Cathy
Yoo-hoo!! Congrats Leslie!
Love your new version. Now looking forward to seeing it stitched up! Maybe you'll share the pattern?! Congratulations to Leslie! :)
Just found your blog and kived reading the poem!

Hi Janet, I just love the idea of dying my own lace etc, but have not the faintest idea how to do this.
I may not be able to obtain the same stuff as you, as I am in the u.k. but to give me a general idea, what would I need to get started.
Hope you don't mind me asking.
I love crazy patchwork as you can see on my blog, but the dying looks great and I could add to my blocks.
