Book Description

May 2004
Heartbroken by her beloved grandmother's death, Catherine cherished the tattered heirloom quilt her grandmother left. Every year, during the Christmas season, Catherine's husband retrieved the box holding Grandy's quilt from the attic and carefully placed the box where Catherine and their three children could open it and ponder the future of the frayed materpiece. They could sense the room fill with the love Grandy stitched into every block.

One year Catherine gazed at the quilt and decided she had to do something to make sure the only remaining eveidence of Grandy's spirit survived. The master quilters she apprached held little hope for preserving the fragile treasure. But Catherine couldn't-wouldn't-let the idea of saving Grandy's quilt go.

She shared her determination to save Grandy's quilt by asking her children for their ideas about bringing Grandy's quilt back to life. Their young energy and enthusiasm pointed to an answer that amazed everynone, especially Catherine.

3.0 out of 5 stars Grandy's Quilt, February 24, 2005
This review is from: Grandy's Quilt... A Gift for All Seasons (Hardcover)
This book is a wonderful story about preserving family keepsakes and memories. In this story the quilt brought back very special memories of precious times spent with "Grandy" and keeping those memories alive by sharing the quilt in Christmas gifts to other family members. This is a story that everyone can relate to with their own grandparent's keepsakes! It's a short, quick read that parents should read to their children every year to keep those family memories and traditions alive.

This review is from: Grandy's Quilt... A Gift for All Seasons (Hardcover)
As I read Renee Rongen's,"Grandy's Quilt",it brought back memories of my own grandmother and the quilt she made that was passed on to me. It is a sweet story to share with the little ones with its beautiful illustrations and a great book for gift giving.
