I requested the book and it is available. Should have it in a day or two.

Thanks! Was just getting ready for a new read!

I will check it out and get it when the weather permits. So cold here even the LQS is closed tomorrow. Temp is supposed to be -17 with a windchill of -55. What is this native Texan doing in Illinois?

Sounds interesting. I'll try to find it at our library.
About 100 years ago, in elementary school, there was a short story in a reader about a granny that had a quilt that was old and beat-up and she clung to it constantly. She was senile and couldn't remember why it was so important and, of course, her family didn't know either. It was made from her scraps of the children's clothing, her dearly departed DH, etc. It invoked all kinds of memories, but she knew it was very important to keep. When she died the 'kids' destroyed it, I think, but under one block was a deed ... or something ... that was necessary for the 'kids' to have. I have thought about that little story all my life. Any body remember it? |

Rats, just checked my library online audio books and the book is not available. :( Will have to check on a hard copy. Thanks for another reading possibility.

Will get my copy from the library tomorrow. There is also a number of books similar to that. They are called Patchwork Mysteries. They are stand alone books. Different authors

I hope someone finds the book or remembers the name because I would like to read it.

I just finished reading the digital version of the book...it was a little difficult to get into the rhythm of reading it at first. Once I got past that, it was easy to get engrossed and I could not stop reading until I finished the story!

My library has one copy so I put a hold on it, I am next on the list. It is so cold here in Michigan it is a good week to stay in and quilt and read. The governor has declared a state of emergency and has closed most government offices and they even cancelled mail delivery until Friday. So far I like this new governor, she seems concerned about her citizens.
