These aren’t the kind of memory quilts I made 28 years ago! They are sophisticated and edgy in design while bringing comfort to family separated by distance. Suzanne Paquette shows today’s quilters how to mix Modern with sentimental in Modern Memory Quilts: A Handbook for Capturing Meaningful Moments. The twelve quilts in the book are actual commissioned memory quilts made by Paquette, who includes the people and stories behind each quilt.

My mind is filled with ideas! I lost a cousin last year and her children are asking about memory quilts. This book couldn’t have come at a better time.

Modern Memory Quilts is so beautifully and thoughtfully written. The stories Suzanne weaves into each quilt are as unique as each design. She succeeds in capturing the true essence of a quilt – its outer beauty draws us close, but it’s the story that it holds that gives it its soul. Just like people really!
