The Friendship Star Quilt (2014) - Plot & Excerpts
“Aren’t you the cutest little bug?” Anne said as she handed a coloring book and crayons to a little lady bug whose mother, Kirstie, was one of the Tuesday night quilters. It was past The Stitching Post’s normal closing time, but Myra had always extended her hours on Halloween so customers like Kirstie could bring in their children and grandchildren to show off their outfits. On their last phone call, Anne told the shop owner she planned to continue the tradition this year, too. Myra had told her it wouldn’t be necessary, but Anne wanted to do it. She never got trick or treaters at her upstairs apartment, and she loved seeing the little ones in their fanciful garb. That afternoon, she’d located the big plastic cauldron in the back room where Myra had told her it would be. The shop owner’s stash of inexpensive coloring books and crayons to give out as treats had been stored inside it in a cardboard box. Now, the cauldron sat on a display table near the cash register, and Anne handed out the books, augmented with play jewelry and bubbles she’d bought at the dollar store the previous week.
