The Hope Chest by Carolyn Brown

Three cousins Nessa, Flynn and April are reunited when their grandmother jointly leaves them her house in Blossom Texas.  She also leaves a locked hope chest.  The chest can only be unlocked when the cousins have completed a hand stitched quilt which has been left in the quilting shed.  

They all have different memories of Nanny Lucy and the house.  Nessa visited each summer to get away from her strict and religious parents. Flynn used to visit each summer until his mother died, he wanted to stay but Nanny Lucy sent him away to live with his father.  April's mother died just after she was born and so was brought up by Nanny Lucy and always felt unloved.  

The cousins meet up and move into the house to start the task set for them, they all have reasons to want a fresh start in life.
