The Keeping Quilt
Quilting themes have found their way into books for children as well as those written for adults. The Keeping Quilt, a picture book written by Patricia Polacco, tells the story of a quilt handed down through the generations of a family. We learn why it was made, how and for whom it was used.
Inspired by the story of a quilt in the authors family, this book might bring back memories of quilts in your family or teach your youngsters the importance of family traditions. The author is the present caretaker of a quilt passed though four generations of her family.
Do you have quilt stories or traditions you could write about? How about writing these stories down at least for your family?
