As Amish widow Emma Yoder contemplates the task ahead, her thoughts center on one: What if she fails? Longing to remove a burden from her family by becoming self-sufficient, Emma has offered to hold quilting classes in her home. But when she sees the patchwork of faces assembled for the first lesson, her confidence dwindles as doubt takes hold. There’s Star Stephens, a young woman yearning for stability; Pam and Stuart Johnston, a struggling couple at odds in their marriage; Paul Ramirez, a widowed father hoping to find solace in finishing a quilt; Jan Sweet, a rough and tough biker looking for something creative to do; and Ruby Lee Williams, a preacher’s wife seeking relaxation amid mounting parish problems. While Emma grows to realize her ability to share her passion for quilting and her faith, the beginning quilters learn to transform scraps of fabric into beauty. And slowly, their fragmented lives begin to take new shape—some in unexpected ways—with the helping hands of each other and the healing hand of God.
This sounds like an amazing story. Quilting has a special meaning for me. My older sister made beautiful quilts and always wanted me to learn. I really wanted her to teach me but since I lived in Maine and she had moved to So. Carolina, that would have been a bit difficult. We had decided I would learn, little by little, whenever I came down to visit her. I didn't get that opportunity. I did get down to be with her but as her 24/7 Hospice caregiver. She was striken with gallblader cancer at a young age. Before she passed, she made me promise that I would learn to quilt....sure wish "Emma" from your story were here to teach me, since my sister is not. Wishing everyone luck in winning one of your books, but I will be hoping that I might be one of the winners also. Really looking forward to reading this particular book of yours. Have a wonderful Easter! Best Wishes, Uekiya (Cheri Minott 5:36am April 8, 2012)
