Quilts Are Forever: A Patchwork Collection of Inspirational Stories [Paperback] Review

"Quilts Are Forever" is a wonderful treasury of the stories behind the quilts. Some of the stories are told by the quilters and others by a person who was touched by a quilt. I believe this is the first book of its kind in print other than the state quilt projects and oral quilt projects. I would highly recommend this to anyone who has ever been intrigued by the story behind a quilt they've seen in an antique store or auction or one they loved.

Product Description:

QUILTS -- PIECES OF FABRIC SEWN TOGETHER LIKE MOMENTS IN TIME, AS HANDMADE AS LIFE ITSELF
Every quilt has a story to tell, an endearing story that lasts forever. Whether it is a craft-fair find, a generations-old family heirloom, or an art collector's most prized piece, quilts warm our bodies and our hearts.
Ever since pioneer women organized sewing circles to combat the harshness and isolation of the American West, women have turned to quilting to celebrate, share, and heal. In this heartwarming collection of inspirational stories, we see the celebrations, joys, and heartaches behind the stitches. One family lovingly pieces together a birthday present for their aging father, while a garage-sale quilt comes to symbolize the ties between a young man and his mother. Thirteen pre-Civil War ladies sew squares for their schoolmate's wedding quilt, while a young boy adds his own square to the NAMES Project AIDS Memorial Quilt in honor of his father. No matter the circumstances, these stories deliver the spirit of quilting, friendship, and love with every word.
