The Visit is a vividly told tale of Neela, a beautiful widow during the 1890s. In her mountain cabin, she earns a living by using her talents to make and sell her quilts to the nearby towns people. Six years after the death of her beloved husband, she is visited by a mysterious old man that brings her a message from her late husband, Lucas.
A wonderfully rich cast of characters make this lively story an adventure, a surprise and a laugh at every turn of a page. Follow Neelas journey as she makes the beautiful quilts on a path to a new life. Just as the snowy winter melts into the glorious days of summer, this is at the on-set of the industrial revolution. Its a gentle time but awakening to all the possibilities of the modern age.

Raised in the Pacific Northwest, I have
roots that run as deep as the Evergreens
that grow here.
I was lucky to be born to supportive parents
that encouraged creativity and hobbies of
all kinds. One thing that became a passion
was quilt making and has been a mainstay
for several decades. After my divorce 12
years ago, I took my quilting to a whole new level and began doing
Professional Machine Quilting. I love customers and friends I’ve met
through sewing.
A strong Irish sense of self has helped me through some difficult times
in my life, such as the heartbreak of Cancer. I am proud to recently
be able to claim, I am a survivor. At 53, I still try everyday to be as
creative as I can be. I share my life and home with my friend, James,
my Bullmastiff, Molly and my black cat, Sam.
