Quilts Are Forever: A Patchwork Collection of Inspirational Stories

Enthusiasts of a celebrated American craft share their stories in Quilts Are Forever: A Patchwork Collection of Inspirational Stories. Editor Kathy Lamancusa, an inspirational speaker and founder of Quilts Are Forever magazine, has gathered personal essays about the importance of quilts and quilt making in people's lives. The short pieces range in tone from mournful to lighthearted; Sarah Jane McMillen describes how quilting sustained her during the terminal illnesses of her husband and three sons, while Joe Lamancusa humorously recalls fending off his mother's attempts to make him a quilt for his college dorm room (so uncool!).
