A Garden of Love Jul 26, 2009
By P. Ellis Reading this book brought tears to my eyes. Lois was my mother and by writing this book, my brother has captured the essence of my mothers life and what she stood for. He reflects upon a time when people took pride in their craft and in "doing it right". This book was a walk down memory lane for me. As a child, I watched her work on many of the items pictured. She worked for long hours after dinner every night on the embroidered clock. At 8-1/2 months pregnant, she wanted it finished before giving birth to my sister.
Most of all, I loved the analogy between the quilt and my mothers life. This book was written from the heart about a woman who was passionate about her craft and always striving to do her best. The book captures the moral character that was central to all things that my mother did.
