Scrap quilts, bridal gowns, and a hidden family heirloom. What more could you want in a Minnesota winter romance? Penny Anderson has big dreams—and no time for distractions. She's determined to launch her own exclusive bridal gown line, using her creativity and skills to carve out a place for herself, even in a small Minnesota town. Her dyslexia has shaped the way she works, but it won't stop her from reaching her goals. She’s focused. She’s determined. She’s not looking for romance. Brian Michaels has loved Penny Anderson for as long as he can remember, while she’s always thought of him as her childhood best friend. After seven long years away, he’s back in town, helping Penny build her bridal salon, and it’s time to tell her how he feels—before her tall, dark, and charming business consultant sweeps her off her feet, leaving Brian stuck in the friend zone forever. Meanwhile, Great-aunt Violet is documenting generations of Anderson family stories in patchwork quilts. When a long-buried heirloom is unearthed in the farmhouse garden, her genealogical research takes an unexpected turn—unraveling secrets that could reshape everything she knew about their family's past... and their future. The Glory Quilts Series Always and Forever Matched Hearts After 40 years of wandering (but always in lovely places and not in a desert), Cathe Swanson has recently returned to her childhood home and family in Minnesota. In the summer, she and her husband enjoy spending time with their grandchildren and being outdoors, gardening, hiking, birdwatching, and kayaking. The long winters are perfect for playing games, reading, and indoor hobbies. Cathe's been a quilter and teacher of quiltmaking for over 25 years and enjoys just about any kind of creative work, especially those involving fiber or paper. Everything inspires new books! A lifelong love of quilting, Cathe's Swedish heritage and an interest in genealogy led to The Glory Quilts series. The Hope Again series is inspired by her life in the Midwest and experiences with the elderly, the military, and inner-city ministry. As a child of the 60's, she's having fun writing about hippies and the Jesus People movement in the Serenity Hill series. Cathe writes books with creative plots and engaging characters of all ages, to glorify God and entertain and bless readers. Her heartwarming stories will make you laugh and make you cry—and then make you laugh again.
