Featured Book

Quilt Pieces , a new edition of the 1990 chapbook with poems by Jane Wilson Joyce and Meredith Sue Willis's
most anthologized short story, "Family Knots."

....the story “Family Knots” by novelist Meredith Sue Willis sketches the life of a turn-of-the-century quilt artist who succeeded in blooming where she was planted in rural Appalachia. With determination and daring she pieces her way though difficult relationships, heavy responsibilities, and changing times, always searching for elusive scraps of color that will bring her dreams and patterns to life. Give yourself a gift of renewal in the jewel of a book.

                                      -- Carol Crowley, Quilter’s Newsletter Magazine

For those who love quilts, for those who love accomplished writing, and for those who love both, this small book will come as a gift.


                                                                        – Sojourner

...a short, comforting, poignant reading, much like the experience of the piecing, quilting, and family stitchery the work describes.

                                                                — Ann Kilkelly, Ace Magazine
