This is a delightful yet inspiring little book. As a quilt lover I have always wanted to write my own book about the patchwork of life as related to scripture and the Christian life. This author has done a wonderful job.

Grandmother's flower garden, Sunbonnet Sue, Sunshine and shadows, life is like a quilting pattern. Many older quilts are even named after verses or characters in the Bible, like Job's tears, Star of Bethlehem, and Eye of God. Some are named after the things of life like broken dishes, windmill, and log cabin.

This book is like sharing a hot cup of tea with a good friend. Beth Moore

The author intertwines the quilt blocks with stories of faith, encouragement and Bible verses. There is a little quilt history mixed with the parables.
