About This Book

A Brownie Scout troop tries several fundraising plans, beginning with a patchwork quilt and expanding into a community quilt show and seasonal work at a cherry harvest. Episodic chapters follow their cooperative efforts, small misadventures such as a missing coverlet and a sudden storm, and practical tasks at a cannery and a camp, all of which require ingenuity and teamwork. Themes of friendship, resourcefulness, and pride in handmade work run throughout as the girls learn to organize events, solve problems, and earn recognition for their contributions.
