The best traditions carry us forward while helping to keep fresh the memories of where we come from. In Bridget's family squares of fabric are saved from the time a baby is born, then stitched together resulting in an Irish Chain quilt wedding present. There is also a tradition of leaving home and seeking a promising horizon; each generation packing their wedding quilt and moving toward their bright future. This is a tale of quilting and the part it plays in immigration, dispersion and heritage.
