"If you love Christmas you will enjoy CHRISTMAS QUILT ANTHOLOGY by Barbara Baldwin. The stories contained within could melt the heart of the worst Scrooge…Each story is unique and different and like the individual blocks of a quilt when sewn together form a beautiful picture of Christmas."
Susan, reviewer for TwoLipsReviews, 4 lips

Christmas Quilt Anthology is such a special book that I don’t really know how to describe it but basically it’s about Christmas. But not about Christmas like lots of people know it these days. It’s not about the presents, it’s about family values and family spirit. About the real meaning of Christmas, how Christmas should be. There’s plenty of love in this book. Barbara Baldwin has written a heart-touching book. Reading this anthology made me feel partly sad, but in the meanwhile also partly good. And that’s what makes it so special.

“The Christmas Quilt Anthology is a collection of stories, fictional memories, essays and poems. It takes us on a delightful journey through what will be, to most readers, a familiar landscape of Christmas memories. Some are set far back in history and some are set in modern times, some are connected, some are not. All will delight the reader.

I especially enjoyed the first story about the quilt itself. The way that it was handed down, cared for by a caring collection of people.” 4 Roses, Reviewed by Shara, My Book Cravings

Introduction

The title story—“The Christmas Quilt”—came into being exactly as it states in the opening paragraphs. My sister, an avid quilter, had shown me the quilt top she rescued at an auction. It certainly didn’t hold the same fascination for me, until she started wondering about the people behind the quilt and what their stories might have been. Now that, I could get into, and my imagination took flight.

I wrote “The Christmas Quilt” for my sister, but the next year I turned it into a story card and sent it to my friends and family at Christmas. The following year, another story was born for the holiday season, and thus began a tradition that I can’t seem to stop. When I created the fifth Christmas story card, I wrote “fifth and last in the series” on the cover, but I had so many friends comment they didn’t want me to stop, that I began an encore series.

One year, because the Christmas season is a time for family, friends and sharing, I asked those same family and friends to help me create Holiday Letters & Memories. I’m sure you’ll find a little bit of yourself within their letters.
I am very excited and pleased to be able to share this anthology with you. I hope you enjoy reading these stories as much as I did writing about the traditions and people that make Christmas so special. Having these traditions surround us during this time of year is as comforting as being wrapped in a favorite quilt and sitting in front of a fire.
