Elsi Vassdal Ellis - EVE Press - No More Excuses

Here is the short story, part fiction part real of a woman who has no excuses but to clean out THAT closet during COVID-19 social distancing. What she finds is a box of fabric scraps given to her by her husband's Indiana grandmother who quilted to earn extra cash to keep the house warm in winter (real). Every square has at least one piece of Pansy's fabrics dating from the 1930s to 1980s.

Front & back covers; 14 inches square; side binding with Victorian glass buttons on front; back buttons plastic.
