The idea for Picking Up Pieces sprang from all the quilt pieces that came to Sue Frazier out of the blue as if dropped from heaven, either as whole quilts or just a top, sometimes in need of restorative help. Not an instructional book, but a delightful collection of unique and sometimes funny stories about the women and circumstances of these quilts' origins which came to Sue while holding and sharing the pieces during quilting group presentations. It is a loving effort to highlight a few of the amazing quilts hand-crafted with passion and ingenuity by many thousands of everyday American women, some of whom never lived to see their works of beauty used or admired. Anyone who enjoys an entertaining moment, whether knowledgeable about quilting or not, will find great pleasure in reading about the quilts' adventures, while learning a little about a quickly-disappearing, quintessentially American folk art.

Sue Frazier strengthened her love of literature and writing during her years as an educator in Michigan, where she shared her passion for meaningful metaphors with the hundreds of students who learned from her for over thirty years. She is a Master Gardener, a grandmother, and a seeker of truth and knowledge. Her travels to small towns, historical landmarks, and lands abroad bring great inspiration to her writing.
