Heartwarming stories by New York Times

Four bridesmaids stitch a wedding quilt-and find it's the groom's brother that has the bride snagged-in Jennifer Blake's novella.

Jo Anne Cassity pits the owners of rival stores in a competition to bid for a handmade quilt-and each other's affections.

Linda Shertzer tells of a man who demands the return of a keepsake quilt from a young widow, and tries not to fall in love.

Christina Cordaire follows a modern career woman who finds herself flung back to the 1840s-who now must work to save the unraveling relationship of wayward lovebirds.

Amazon.com Review

This collection of short stories revolves around a wedding quilt. Jennifer Blake starts the stories off with "Pieces of Dreams." It's 1843 and a wedding quilt is being stitched for bride Melly Bennington. But is she in love with the man she is promised to, or is it his twin brother who captures her heart? JoAnn Cassity introduces us to Walker McGregor and Annie O'Neil in, "Forever Annie." Walker and Annie, opposing general store owners, want the wedding quilt for their own good reasons. Will the special quilt bring them together or tear them apart? Linda Shertzer takes the reader to 1893 Missouri in "Hand-Me-Down Hearts." Cora McGregor bequeaths young widow Elise Barker and her two children a few pieces of furniture and an old quilt. Her brother Ryder McGregor wants his priceless family heirlooms returned. Will Elise return them or will Ryder take her love instead? Christinia Cordaire starts "A Ring For Remembrance" in 1990, but it isn't long before Sara Blake finds herself back in the 1840s. Will helping two people in love, help Sara's own love life in the 90s? Save The Quilting Circle for a special day. You won't be able to put it down. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
