The Keepsake Quilters

The Keepsake Quilters by Felicity Hayes-McCoy

One family. Three generations. And the threads that bind them together ...

Successful TV producer Penny has always been a planner. She knows exactly what her future looks like - until an unexpected pregnancy forces her to rethink everything, especially her relationship with the baby's father.

Penny's mum Val raised her alone and always taught her daughter to be independent. But she can't understand why Penny seems intent on pushing her away now, when she needs her more than ever.

Marguerite, Val's recently widowed mother, has an idea to help heal this rift: sewing together a keepsake quilt for the baby. But as the quilt takes shape, memories surface, and the three women begin to discover more about each other than they ever could have imagined. As Christmas approaches, will they finally realise that maybe they've been looking for happiness in all the wrong places?
A beautiful story of 3 female generations brought together via a quilt being made for the younger woman's baby.
Loved reading about them as individuals and also on their collective experience of being all together and the relationship they share..

It is a beautifully written story with a gentle pace about three women, three generations of a family. As the grandmother and the mother work on their project tocreate a "keepsake quilt" for the baby, they remember events from their past. It was heartwarming to read about the relationships between them.
I can recommend this novel to anyone who loves family sagas and reading about strong women.

This was an adorable read that I couldn't put down and I didn't want too. A lovely story spanning 3 generations. Well written, well developed characters and an enchanting plot. I loved it,

What a wonderful comfort writer this is.
Loved this heartwarming book a real cosy up with a cuppa read.
Spanning three generations of women soon to b a fourth, and how they all form stronger bonds while quilting. Going from the past to present day this book was well written and the times fitted in seamlessly
Fantastic read

This was a nice and heart warming read about 3 generations of a family, a Grandmother, Mother and Daughter. They are all independent but when Penny, the Daughter finds herself unexpectedly pregnant they have to find a way of helping each other.
Some clothing has special meanings to me and I have bags of clothes that I can't bear to get rid of. Making a keepsake quilts sounds appealing to me, even though I am useless at sewing. I enjoyed reading this book and hearing about the memories that each item of clothing evoked.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for my ARC.

A lovely book, about family life, family drama and the things that are most important to us. I loved the idea of the family quilt such a lovely heart warming idea.

This was a beautiful book! Full review to come, but I greatly enjoyed learning about these women
and how their stories intertwined. It goes to shoe that despite generations how relatable and how much connection you can find, Beautiful read.

A fascinating family saga, well plotted and compelling. Great characters, a story that involves multiple generations, good storytelling.
