Text reads:
"NEITH
The Three Fates work your grandma's loom.
Clotho spins the thread.
Lachesis divvies it up.
Atropos delivers the cut,
sends us on our way.
With each stitch in a Sea Island quilt,
we see the span of a life determined
to be made whole and warm-
the colors a reminder of the brilliance of each breath.
