Here's one of the amazing auction items that helped raise funds for Feed the Children--A quilt that its makers (Dr. Doze Butler and her colleagues) call ​QUITCH: QUILting to Combat Hunger.
J C Wayne, T. A. Niles, and Hiram Larew wrote This Quitch, which was inspired by QUITCH.

THIS QUITCH

Is this the shape of things to come
the shape of satisfaction snaking
through multitudinous existence?

Images of sustenance shimmer
as jewels of snake's skin wisdom in the
plenty of the world heart pulsing twelve

These squares of hope to cover us!
How every stitch fights hunger's chill
and wakes our dreams of better

The fullness of the table found
in the fire of the heart's hearth
in the glowing of generous embers

Yes, what a story told! --
The magic we can make
When many hands are willing
