The Keeping Quilt Tenth Anniversary Edition

Star FullStar FullStar FullStar FullStar Half

(Hardcover)-When Patricia's Great-Gramma Anna came to America as a child, the only things she brought along from Russia were her dress and the babushka she liked to throw up into the air when she was dancing. Soon enough, though, Anna outgrew the dress and her mother decided to incorporate it and the babushka into a quilt. "It will be like having a family in backhome Russia dance around us at night," she said. And so it was. Together with her Uncle Vladimir's shirt, Aunt Havalah's nightdress, and an apron of Aunt Natasha's, Anna's mother made a quilt that would be passed down through their family for almost a century. From one generation to the next, the quilt was used as a Sabbath tablecloth, a wedding canopy, and a blanket to welcome each new child into the world. The Keeping Quilt, Patricia Polacco's signature piece, was first published in 1988 and won the Sydney Taylor Book Award from the Association of Jewish Libraries. This edition has been expanded to include Patricia's two children, who have also been able to share in the family tradition by using the quilt for birthdays and for play. Now a new generation of readers will come to cherish this heartwarming story of one family's special symbol of enduring love and faith.wn family, and the quilt that remains a symbol of their enduring love and faith.

User Reviews for The Keeping Quilt Tenth Anniversary Edition

Overall Rating: Star FullStar FullStar FullStar FullStar Empty ( 13 reviews )
  1. Star FullStar FullStar FullStar FullStar Full Posted: Apr 10 2009

    I bought this book to give to my mother because I just made a memory quilt for her that included fabrics she had been collecting for over 58 years. I think it will be a wonderful tool to read to her grand children and her great grand children after sharing all of the different fabrics and their memories in the quilt. I really enjoyed reading this book about the fabric families are made of.

    I was lucky to find this book in Spanish, and it meets all of my expectations. The translation is true in style and content to the original and like the English version, is at about a third grade reading level.

    This is truly a touching story about family and culture and change in the form of a Russian quilt that is passed down from mother to daughter for several generations, each generation changing slightly with a changing world. The art is lovely, black and white with only the quilt colored.
