Q & A With The Author:
4. What is your
largest unfulfilled dream, and what are you doing to reach it?
My largest unfulfilled dream is to be slender. After numerous
unsuccessful attempts to achieve this goal, I am working on being satisfied
with being healthy and occasionally finding clothes that fit well.
5. What is the
hardest thing you've ever done?
The hardest thing I have ever done is move a household of mostly
teenagers from one county to another. Theoretically, I had help, but I learned
children that age make their own decisions.

-->Annie, Celia and Lynn are all that are left of the Relief Society quilting class, but they are still determined to make baby quilts for the new mothers at church. Annie, who is just south of eighty years old, calls the quiltsters (short for quilting sisters) together to ask for more. She wants to make lap quilts to give to some of the “forgotten” oldsters she sings to each week at the nursing home—something to wrap them in love at Christmastime. It’s a good idea, but the trio discovers that life and making quilts don’t always go as planned.
The quiltsters discuss recipes and quilting ideas including a crocheted cat mat to use up their fabric selvage and trim scraps, all of which they share in the book.
Sarah and Brian meet at the university. Their first date is after Sarah’s First Saturday Block of the Month class she attends with her mom at the local quilt shop. Their romance grows, and they plan their future together—a plan that will require them to be separated for six months before their wedding. But, can they bear to be apart that long?
What wraps together this Christmas tale? The Fourteenth Quilt.

“Would you like to go on a date?”
“No. Oh, no,” Sarah shook her head even more vigorously. “Right now the only
thing I’m interested in is getting through finals. I’m not really interested in
meeting a bunch of guys and doing the dating scene.”
“I wasn’t thinking of a bunch of guys. I was wondering if you would like to go
on a date with me sometime.”
Sarah had not expected this. She forced herself to not let her mouth drop open.
She looked up again and stared at Brian as if seeing him for the first time.
