About this title

Synopsis

Travel back in time to 1959 as Linda remembers her grandmother telling family stories while they make a memory quilt. Linda is eight years old. Granny selects material for the quilt's blocks from pieces of clothing worn by family members. It is Linda's job to document these blocks in a scrapbook. When the quilt is given to Linda, it will contain a hidden message for her to find. Humor and love will abound right up to the final stitch taken at the quilting bee in A Message of Love.
