Historical fiction inspired by a signature quilt
Who are you?
Jacquie Clarke
What is your project?
My historical fiction is inspired by the signature quilt stitched by my great-great grandmother, Malinda Clarke, over a century ago with names of their friends and family. I researched Canadian and American history of the period between 1880 and 1910. I wrote the fictional story to honor my family history as farmers, and to respond to the question “I wonder what it was like for Malinda, back then in 1905, setting up a farm on the Canadian frontier.”

I will have finished editing this story such that I can proceed to the self-publishing next steps.
