ARNETT — The Quilt Lady lives in a small house surrounded by trailer homes on a hill overlooking a lake. Inside, the house is dimly lit, the afternoon sun pressing softly against closed blinds. 

Entering through the door nearest the carport, the Quilt Lady apologizes — unnecessarily — for the mess: “When I get to working on a quilt, everything else goes to pot. Come on in.”

As soon as the backdoor opens, Maggie, a small white tousle-haired mutt charges from the shadows, barking so furiously that her paws come off the ground with each yap. The Quilt Lady drives Maggie back, eventually trapping the dog in the master bedroom, the centerpiece of which is a lush purple and white quilt draped across the bed. “This is one I made last year. See?”
