One day I entered an antiques shop and saw the most enchanting bedroom on display.<\/p>\n

The white iron bed was heavy with pieced and appliqu\u00e9d quilts. A bow tie pattern stitched in a palette of blues. Flowers created with vibrant pinks and greens. Patchwork quilts and quilts with girls in sunbonnets. Next to the bed was an open pie safe chest overflowing with bolts of fabric. Beautiful calico I could dye or print on. Polished cottons. Atop the cozy bed sat a wicker basket with spool after spool of bright threads. Hanging above it was a sign with the words BLESSED ARE THE PIECEMAKERS. The scene pulled me in like a good story; I wanted to live there.<\/p>\n

My family had had beautiful quilts<\/a> like these\u2014once. I never knew my grandmother, but I knew all about her quilts. Back in the day, people talked about those quilts for miles around. Her applique and pieced works. Her artistic selection of fabrics. Her intricate, even stitches. She created those quilts in the way that she lived her very life, one loving detail at a time. Few things are more personal than handmade objects, and Grandma\u2019s quilts symbolized home itself\u2014blankets wrap a body in warmth, but quilts wrap it in love<\/a>. They would be cherished heirlooms\u2026if only my family had held onto them.<\/p>\n

The quilts had been gone for years. My grandmother had died in the Depression, when my mother was four and her sister, my aunt Joy, was five. Their mama got very sick, and one day she went to the hospital and never came home. That meant their daddy, an electrician for the coal company, had two little girls to take care<\/a> of all by himself.<\/p>\n

Swallowing his pride, Granddaddy approached a neighbor named Mabel. He had an offer, or rather, a plea. \u201cI\u2019m desperate. I need someone who will love my daughters as a mother would,\u201d he told her. \u201cI don\u2019t have money, but I could pay you in my late wife\u2019s quilts if you\u2019ll accept them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mabel agreed and was a wonderful caretaker for my mother and her sister. \u201cAunt\u201d Mabel became part of the family. Of course I was glad she had come to the rescue of those motherless children, but I couldn\u2019t help but wish we hadn\u2019t given her those quilts. Looking at the display in the antiques store, I felt the loss more keenly than ever.<\/p>\n

The next day, I met my mother and Aunt Joy for lunch and told them all about it. \u201cIf we could just see those quilts<\/a> again, my heart would be happy,\u201d I said.<\/p>\n

\u201cMaybe we could even buy them back,\u201d Aunt Joy said. \u201cI\u2019d love nothing more than to have something my mother made with her own hands. The last I heard, Mabel was working as a cook at a hospital. It couldn\u2019t hurt to make a few calls.\u201d<\/p>\n

We started there and followed every lead. We called the phone numbers we had for our old neighbors. When we couldn\u2019t find them, we found their children and grandchildren, who gave us other numbers to try. Finally, after weeks of searching, we found a close friend of Mabel\u2019s who told us she was living in a nursing home, suffering from dementia<\/a>. And he told us even more.<\/p>\n

\u201cBefore Mabel fell ill, she told me about your family and those quilts. She always intended to give them back to you one day. I know right where they are. She took good care of them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Of course we saw that she had. They were in perfect condition. Aunt Joy\u2019s husband fixed it so that she could hang one of the pieced quilts on her living room wall, like the one-of-a-kind art it was. My mother and sisters and I took home the wonderful appliqu\u00e9d ones.<\/p>\n

I keep my quilt on my guest room bed, and I tell my visitors my family\u2019s story. That sign in the antiques<\/a> store made the perfect biblical reference, BLESSED ARE<\/em> THE PEACEMAKERS. For that\u2019s what Aunt Mabel at long last brought to my heart.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
