Her daughter, Nellie Snyder Yost, who helped to write No Time on My Hands, has added an epilogue to this Bison edition.. "As a child of seven and up," writes Grace Snyder, "I wished that I might grow up to make the most beautiful quilts in the world, to marry a cowboy, and to look down on the top of a cloud. From there she finally flies above the clouds to exhibits where her quilts contribute to a worldwide revival of quiltmaking. Mrs. Snyder lived twenty years after the publication of these memoirs in 1963, to the age of one hundred. When Grace Snyder, the matriarch of a pioneer Nebraska family, wrote these reminiscences in her eightieth year, she felt she had been blessed "by having no time on my hands." The story of her busy life begins on the high plains of Nebraska, where her parents homesteaded in 1885. She recalls her childhood in a sod house on a frontier that required everyone to pull together in the face of hostile weather, serious illness, and economic depression but that also held its full share of good times. At the time I dreamed those dreams and wished those wishes, it seemed impossible that any of them could every come true." But she saw all of them realized.No Time on My Hands is a remarkable chronicle of the sod house era and of Grace Snyder’s married life on a ranch in Nebraska’s sandhills
Pioneer Spirit Kim If you liked the pioneer spirit of Laura Ingalls Wilder in the series of Little House on the Prairie books, you will love Grace Snyder in this book as an adult. Grace tells her story from an adult perspective about her entire life from 1882-1982, mostly in Nebraska. She was a remarkable woman who lived through many trials and triumphs throughout her lifetime. Although the story does not entirely focus on her quilt making, if you have an appreciation for quilts, it makes the book even more endearing.. "Five Stars" according to Christie Justice. Wonderful story of a great quilter.. "Five Stars" according to Janette Dwyer. Great book!
Still the pathos comes through. "Snyder’s lengthy narrative is filled with humorous incidents, and she rarely fails to see a light side to even the most dreary event. We realize Snyder’s importance as a folk artist, an outstanding quilter whose work was shown all over the country."—Denver Post
