The Goodbye Quilt
The Goodbye Quilt by Susan WiggsShe is packing up to take her daughter, Molly to college. The drive from WY to CA will give them the time they need to say goodbye.
She's also working on a quilt for her with fabrics from days gone by, patches of dresses and other meaningful clothes. Molly says goodbye to her boyfriend, the dog, her father as they start out with the drive.
She wonders what she will do when she returns as she will be an empty nester. She contemplates the local quilt shop as it's for sale.
Love explanation of what quilting and family mean to the writer.
They have time to talk during the drive while Linda works on the quilt. Many times they run into others and open up to include them in with their new experiences.
