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. \u003cbr\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Touchstone Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/05\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780743210867\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.73lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.64h x 6.40w x 0.58d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePW Notes and Reprints\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/28\/2002 pg. 284\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/28\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/04\/2002\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Kathy Lamancusa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36641343013020,"sku":"9780743210867","price":13.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_32de376d-002e-47e6-909b-b72a0a0d1c3b.jpg?v=1603853456","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/quilts-are-forever-a-patchwork-collection-of-inspirational-stories-9780743210867","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
