Mother's Old Quilt — Lena Nelson Dooley

As long as women have been sewing, there have been boxes of scraps and recycled garments in their homes. The women of the Collins family have such a treasure box, which down through time is opened by Bridgit, who stitches her wedding dress on the Dakota prairie... Maggie, who finds healing for her broken heart in restoring a quilt... Leah, who struggles to clothe her son during World War 2... and Colleen, who reassembles her ability to trust through a scrapbook. Each will find the lessons passed down by her ancestors to be vital in building foundations for faith and love today.
