Vowing to not repeat the error along with her new daughter-in-law, Amy, who opposed Sylvia’s marriage to her father, Andrew, Sylvia should persuade Amy that household is extra treasured than pleasure.

She titles the quilt “New 12 months’s Reflections,” after her perception that year-end reflections precede resolutions. The quilt blocks she chooses commemorate the knowledge that nobody can ever be really alone if she retains the reminiscence of these she liked and people who liked her alive in her coronary heart.
The New 12 months’s Quilt is a novel to take pleasure in in the present day and to treasure anew every vacation season.
