I picked up Sewing Can Be Dangerous and Other Small Threads to have a collection of shorts I could read in between meetings and flights and such, when I didn't dare get caught up in a longer story.  What I got was caught up in a complete, cohesive collection that blended from one story to the next, making me want to start the next as soon as I finished the previous.  Taken individually, my favorite piece is the wedding quilt story. However, overall, the book I read was bound together by a theme of traditions and those things we pass forward to the next generation.  Mallery is quickly becoming a favorite of mine because her creativity is as rich and picturesque as her writing.
