Our first attempt at writing a book with a broader appeal than just for family. What could fill that position? There was a book at our home titled There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed Some Books<\/em>, by Lucille Colandro. Collandro has written over a dozen variations on her swallowing things. I wondered why this poor old lady had to keep swallowing things to keep us entertained. Why couldn’t she have fun in a new book? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quilts Come Alive Series<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My wife, Jennifer, loves making quilts. She started making one for each grandchild. To add my own contribution I thought a book inspired from each quilt would be a good idea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peace by Piece<\/mark><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This book is in the works. The text is complete but the illustrations are the hold up. It is based on a quilt my wife made for Jamie, our fifth grandchild.
It is a prose of 33 stanzas, here are the first three:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We all like to create
With our words and with our hands
It just takes an idea
That grows when we add plans<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s okay if we make things
To be seen by no one else
But also good to share
Giving a part of ourselves<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With words we tell a story
With wood a house is built
We take things piece by piece
Just like I make a quilt<\/p>\n\n\n\n

estimated completion date: Summer 2024<\/p>\n\n\n\n
