This was the first Lorie Eckert Book I read, after having seen her present her story and quilts in person, and I have read it many times over. I have since read her other 2 books and was a constant follower of her newspaper singles column while she was writing it. I keep waiting for more of her work to be published and hope she won't keep me waiting too much longer!
