Acknowledgements

Team Ava, who rocks my world.

Dr. Richa Thapa, goddess extraordinaire, for connecting me to Dr. Kristin Homburg, who provided insights from child psychology for this story.

All the quilters on my Facebook page who provided so much help and feedback and sent me notes. I can’t name you all, but a few people deserve special mention for their extra help, including Char Scott and Jenny Anderson. I did my best to capture this incredible craft, and if I got something wrong, all I can say is, “Oops.”

T.F. For being my patchwork quilt of happiness.
