A favorite of mine is "The Keeping Quilt" by Patricia Polacco (sp). It's a picture book but is so full of how one quilt is woven thru the fabric and traditions of several generations of a family.

Gail - Here is a list of the Elm Creek series in order. You should be able to get them all thru your library's interlibrary loan if they don't have them. Or you can get used ones at Amazon.com. Xmas present?

Annmarie, you are the very best. Thank you for this list. I may not have time for quilting when I get these. :lol:

I bought the Quiltmakers Gift but did not know about the companion book. I'll have to hunt for that one.
