{"product_id":"lap-and-nap-quilts-and-comforters","title":"Lap and Nap Quilts and Comforters","description":"Among many other artistic endeavors, Mary Lou Goertzen is a painter, embroiderer, and most recently, a quilter. This book showcases 25 quilts she created from 1992 to 2013, along with handwritten notes about each. The quilts, visual interpretations of day-to-day life experiences and emotions, are often inspired by her connections to loved ones. Many of the quilts were created as a means of sharing her feelings of grief and loss after the 2004 death of her husband Ernie, also an artist. As Mary Lou notes in the book's introduction: \"The quilts are all made by hand with every stitch a prayer.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Laurie Rich,Mary Lou Goertzen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/13\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 54\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.33lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 0.14d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781499349900\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMary Lou Goertzen, born in 1929 in Kansas, is an American artist, Mennonite, and peace activist.
