She decided the best way to acquire her first quilt was to make one for herself. At nearly the same time, she started commuting three and half hours a day for her dream engineering job. To pass the time on the long drive, she got hooked on audiobooks-especially books with love stories. Within a couple of years, she was writing stories of her own. It was no surprise to her family and friends when she combined her love of quilting, her small town roots, and her obsession with her Scottish heritage. She has gained some recognition with her September 11th Story Quilt which has toured the country as the property of the Pentagon. She has a master's degree in nuclear engineering but spends her days writing stories about hearth and home, and dreaming about the fictional small town of Gandiegow, Scotland.","brand":"Patience Griffin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50671031025938,"sku":"9781732068438","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_ce71e7ad-74f6-466a-a770-a557ee56893b.jpg?v=1733793730","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/the-laird-and-i-a-kilts-quiltsr-novel-9781732068438","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
