"I actually read every word in this book, even though it is mostly a picture book. I am amazed at the stories of these women who knew nothing better, but to survive the best way they knew how.
It is a testament that everyone has a story in their own right."
"What a fascinating and inspirational book. Not to mention that the hardships of my own life were thrown instantly into perspective (ie., not hardships at all). I find myself in awe of these women and their beautiful quilts."
