My mother who is a quilter gave this book to my daughters. We have read it several times and are amazed by the story and the illustrations. After reading the e-mails from so many people, I needed to write. During this time of war and hostility, it was so nice to read how many people are out there loving one another and giving to people they do not know. I plan to use this book to reinforce my values with my girls. I want them to know that giving is so necessary in the world we live in. Thank you for your book. – Cat J. Michigan

The Quiltmaker's Gift touched me like no other has in a long time. The quiltmaker is a person we should all aspire to be. I plan to read this book to classes for years to come and give it to my three children for Christmas. Brave!!! What a very special book. For our Make A Difference Day project (October 27) we used the Puss in the Corner block pattern from the workbook. As young as 5 years old (with Mom's help) through 73 years old used sewing machines and 'stash' fabrics to create 24 X and O blocks which will be made into a quilt for persons at a homeless shelter. We intend to continue our project throughout the year using the numerous patterns in the book. p.s. We even have a special chair like the king's throne that he gave to the quiltmaker at the end of the story. – St. Charles

I was shopping for holiday bargains and found your book on a sale table. I purchased it for a friend of mine that is a quilter so she could share this story with her grandchildren. I brought the book home and put it away. Yesterday I saw my grandchildren expressing actions of greed and unthankfulness. I am a Christian and today I had a heavy heart pondering over how I could touch my grandchildren with some word about gratefulness and thankfulness. I prayed for a way to express to them that material things are worthless and become vapors when we leave this world for heaven. I sat down with a cup of tea this morning and read your book. I can't wait until tomorrow when I will share the book with my five grandchildren. Your book will remain on my bookshelf, as well as my heart,and I shall purchase another for my friend. Thank you and God Bless you.... – Lynda
