ANNOUNCING THE RELEASE OF OUR 3RD BOOK!

We are proud to announce the release of our 3rd book.....Scraps of Time. Those who have lost a loved one universally need comfort. When our Grandmother passed away in 1985, her oldest grandson (our cousin) wanted something tangible by which to remember her. He thought her dresses would be beautiful made into a quilt. Not knowing anyone who quilted, he held onto them for 14 years. At a family reunion, he learned about our interest in quilting and asked if we would consider making a quilt for him. Grandma''s dresses were old, well worn and of questionable fiber content. We knew this quilt would have to be handled differently than a quilt made with newer 100% cotton fabric. We weren't sure where to begin so we looked for books on the subject. There were none to be found. Without a guide, we had to start from scratch and learn many different techniques to allow us to work with these old clothes. We also wanted to combine these old fabrics with new fabrics. We knew there had to be many people like us who were looking for answers on how to use clothing in quilts, and we felt it was our destiny to help those people find the answers and receive the comfort they were seeking. We hope you enjoy Scraps of Time and find comfort between the pages. Amy and Ann
