About This Quote
Love should feel like a hand sewn quilt made by grandma, wrapping you up on a cold winter morning. June Bug is the main character in the story "The Quiltmaker", an American historical fiction written by Louise Erdrich. June Bug is an Anglo who has lived her life without love until she falls in love with another Anglo named Jack. Their relationship is short-lived, however, as Jack dies just before they are to be married.
June Bug, now alone again, struggles to continue living her life without love or purpose until one day she discovers that her grandmother had made her a quilt that gave her the sense of being wrapped up in love. As she lies in bed, day after day, her grandmother’s quilts wrap around her and keep her warm through each winter morning.
