The Smoke House can be anywhere-an old gas station, a barbershop, or a nearby bench at the park-anywhere that people gather to talk about what is happening to them or the people around them. In places like this, there is usually one person who listens closely and then tells the stories. At The Smoke House, the storyteller will sometimes be Pat, the writer in these tales, or sometimes be the owner. Either way, each individual who comes here can tell his or her story, or maybe someone else's story, without fear. In this series of stories, a man comes to Pat at The Smoke House to tell him of his experiences in making quilts for some people he knows and for others he will never meet. In reading these stories, the reader discovers a Love that each of us seeks to experience in life. This kind of Love is always Free and Unconditional-and so are The Quilts of Love.
