"Our quilt shop ordered a dozen of your books based on a recommendation by one of our customer's rave reviews.  At first I thought it was a children's book, but realized it was really for adults.  Not that kids over 6 or 7 wouldn't like it to, but the message spoke volumes to all of us in the shop.  We recommended it and were sold out within days.  The message so inspires each one of us to take stock of what we really treasure in life.  Thank you for writing such a touching story.  It speaks directly to so many."
Stacy, Heirloom Quilts

"I received your book as a gift and WOW, what a powerful book!  I laughed and cried, seeing myself in your grandmother."
-Elaine, California

"I hope someday that my quilts will be treasures for my own grandchildren.  Your book was enchanting."
-Rhoda, Minnesota

"This is a magnificent book, so filled with love that it will bring tears to your eyes. Read it slowly. Savor every word. If you do, you'll feel as if Grandy is hugging you, too. Renee Rongen has done a great job of capturing the tiny details that help keep our loved ones close at heart after they've died. This book is much, much more than a loving tribute to the author's grandmother; it is also reassurance that love lives on and on. It's a book that will make you look around your own house for possessions that you'll want to share now so that there are stories behind them later. Or who knows? Maybe you'll be inspired to create your own patchwork quilt. In any case, you'll love the values of respect, sharing and caring that fill every page of this book. It's a treasure!"
-Robin, North Dakota

"I read your book yesterday and LOVED IT!  I cried a lot thinking of my own family memories and it has given me some ideas of how to preserve them.  Your grandmother must have been a wonderful woman to have hand in such a beautiful woman as you."
-Georgia G., Bristol, England

"This past year my daughter died and someone gave me your book and told me I may be interested in reading it and creating a rememberence similar to yours in the book.  It took me awhile to muster up the strength to read it, but was so delighted to hear the bells go off in my head.  I took my daughters clothes and made treasures similar to yours in the book for her brothers.  Thank you for giving me a way to keep her legacy alive."
-Heather, Maine

"Our family from Wisconsin sent your book to us.  We loved it and it sits out on our old norwegian antique trunk that we received from my grandmother.  Grandy's Quilt takes me back to the days where my own grandmother used to let me lay across her bed with an antique quilt on it.  So many memories.  We can't wait for your next book."
