Thirteen-year-old Maggie Pugh has lived in Kinship, Georgia, all her life. In all that time almost nothing has changed. If you are poor, you live on the west side of town. If you are rich, you live on the hill in the north end and get to go boating at the country club in Troy. If you are white you use one bathroom at Byer’s Drugs, and if you are colored you use another. All that beings to change in the summer of 1960. It is the summer when Maggie’s younger sister, Gardenia, triumphs in the Hayes County Little Miss Contest. It is the summer when Maggie must decide whether to tell anyone about the horrible thing she saw. Most of all it’s the summer of Maggie’s first camera, a tool that becomes a way for her to find independence and a different kind of truth.

The "love" experience with a child's first blanket can't be predicted but is very special. Presenting a blanket for a baby gift is one of the most personal and endearing ways to reach a new mother's heart. Perhaps it is a plush purchased treasure that just can't be resisted from the baby store. Or maybe the blanket is cut from fleece and tufted or fringed but the fabric has been chosen with the child in mind and conveys a personal message in the design. A quilt brings another dimension of time, love and devotion to the gift, a labor of love in itself. Sometimes the quilt is just for display, cherished by all and brought out on special occasions. But then there is the blanket that your child will adopt, drag around, put in their mouth, run for when happy, snuggle in when sad. No matter how we try or how beautiful the selection, only the child can choose that blanket. And, that treasure becomes the child's first blanket, to remember in pictures, worn to a scrap and saved in a trunk. The child chooses the "love" experience. Alene presents this scenario in an attractive way in "Big" the Quilt sharing the simple game played with a mother and child at bedtime.

Mom sat down next to me, put her arm around my shoulder, pulled me in tight, and said in that sweet, soft voice of hers......You know what she said. I couldn't believe it. "What!?" I yelled, standing to my feet. I couldn't believe it, and I was sure it was some kind of practical joke or maybe that I'd fallen asleep and now I was having a nightmare.

Now that I know the story I want to share it with you. It's a story everyone should know. Come with me and learn how to bring CHRISTMAS CHEER to everyone you come into contact with.
