Get Quiet and Listen

By Lorie Kleiner Eckert

To capture moments in her life, Lorie Kleiner Eckert chooses quilting as her medium of expression. Rather than painting or sculpting, quilting allows her to share her thoughts and feelings with others.

Collected here are some of her favorite quilts, accompanied by the stories behind them. Both profound and playful, the quilts are extremely inspirational. "Measuring Up" reminds the reader of the pitfalls of comparing oneself to others. "Lessons from Super Bowl XXIII" teaches that opportunities, even opportunities to celebrate, need to be seized, lest they be lost. The other essays and quilts equally inspire, teach, and comfort.

Not a quilting book, Get Quiet and Listen serves to share the lessons learned by the author. Often, these revelations would come to her when she least expected them. That, in itself, is an incredibly valuable lesson worth learning. Sometimes, all one has to do is get quiet and listen.

Get Quiet and Listen

This is an excellent book for anyone interested in quilts, quilt patterns and what various patterns represent. This book, however, is more than just another quilt book; it is an expression of the individual. The author recounts her own history and relates it to her art as a comfort to others. She is able to communicate with all of us. This book will make an excellent gift and I will keep it in my home always.
