This is an excellent book for anyone interested in quilts, quilt patterns and what various patterns represent. This book, however, is more than just another quilt book; it is an expression of the individual. The author recounts her own history and relates it to her art as a comfort to others. She is able to communicate with all of us. This book will make an excellent gift and I will keep it in my home always.

Full of wit, wisdom, heartache and humor, divorce and dating (and more), this easy-to-read book is a must read for the single set. The good, bad and the ugly of being single. Lorie's perspective is gleaned from her own experience and presented as 52 essays which come from her newspaper columns. Recommended.

The quilts are beautiful, the words are inspirational, and the stories are touching. I adore this book. I come back to it again and again. I cannot wait for Ms. Eckert's third book to be published.
