While digging through a chest, Mandie and her friends discover some wonderful old quilts, some of them made by her Cherokee grandmother some time ago. Uncle Ned has shown up with another quilt of her grandmother's, one Mandie has seen before with very unusual looking Cherokee writing on it. She had asked him to find out what the message was, but now he tells her to pack it away, that what it says is dangerous. Mandie, as you might guess, is more curious than ever! What is the secret sewn onto what seems to be a simple bed covering? Mandie is about to find out, and the truth will surprise everyone! Includes quilt block pattern and easy-to-follow quilting instructions.
Lois began her first Mandie story when she was only eleven years old. But eventually the manuscript was tucked away in a drawer and forgotten. Lois went on to attend Furman University and studied music for several years in New York City where she and her sister sang professionally. Some years ago, Lois was prompted to pull that old manuscript out and began to work on Mandie's story-of her childhood in the South at the turn of the century and her Cherokee heritage. The rest is history and now the MANDIE BOOKS series have sales nearing six million copies! Lois writes from her home in South Carolina. Enthusiastic young fans fill her mailbox with their insightful responses to her stories.
