Publisher's Synopsis
Nona McDonald, one of the characters in The Travelers: Present in the Past, slides back in time to the 1890s, seeing such things as smartphones, computers, televisions and automobiles drop out of daily life. When Winnie Longenecker peeks at the future from that time, she sees essential handwork skills, taught carefully by one generation to the next, drop out of daily life as her generation knows it. Join the long procession of generations that have learned quilting, rug making, crazy quilting and embroidery from their elders and then passed those skills to younger generations. And don't forget a bit of whimsy - create a homing pouch to carry into the future, containing a tangible bit of your day of making fabric art with someone you love. Take a trip with the Travelers and spend a day with one of the young people in your life, teaching the value and skills of well-done handwork.
