Loose Threads: Stories to Keep Quilters in Stitches

One of the country’s best-loved quilters shares her observations on the whys, wherefores, and wonders of applying needle to fabric and creating a world. A collection of amusing, moving, and invariably wise essays from Helen Kelley’s beloved “Loose Threads” column (a favorite of readers of Quilter’s Newslettersince 1983), this treasury comes together much like the exquisite quilts Kelley creates: painstakingly pieced and stitched to convey not just a moment and its meaning, but the care and craft of quilting that lasts longer than thread holds out. Gathered in book form for the first time, these pieces form a lovely patchwork that will certainly keep.
