Pieces of quilts and pieces of seasons create a perfect blend of art and inspiration! The quilter's love of nature are evident in both her poetry and the quilts that provide the illustrations for this unique collection! Why does the creek bubble in celebration? Where does GREEN go in the winter? How is your lawn like space? Who's that dancing in the trees, and where can we find spots of sunshine in December? The answers are in the Anna Grossnickle Hines' quilts and the poems in PIECES: A Year in Poems and Quilts.
