"This book resonated with me on many different levels; aging, a mother named Mary who loved quilting, and also has a strong presonal relationship with God. The message of being thankful and also full of praise is one I can benifit from and would do well to remember on a daily basis. It hit home in so many different ways!"
— Mary (5 out of 5 stars)
The Quilt Listener Reviews
-
" A great quick read that renewed the gift of thankfulness and prayer. "
— Dee, 2/10/2014 -
" Picked this up off the nightstand at the in-laws' house and read it in two hours. It was sweet, spiritual, and so predictable that I described the plot from beginning to end for my husband before I got past page 3. But, it was an easy and relaxing read. Definitely beats some of the other "light reading" out there. "
— Audra, 2/8/2014 -
" Predictable inspirational story but oh my this author obviously didn't know the full ins and outs of a quilt such as the one which is at the center of his tale. That, for me, totally took away from the story unfortunately. Oh well -- easy read in a matter of an hour so now to continue the books I already had underway. Can't win them all. "

" An inspiring story of an elderly lady making one last quilt. Even though she feels the project is inspired and it is something she needs to do, it turns out to be the last teaching moment for her family. A beautiful story and not a tear jerker like you might expect! "
— Dawn, 1/24/2014 -
" Short but sweet. It makes you think and even though I cannot quilt, it almost makes me wish I could, so that I would be able to have the same wonderful experience as the women in the story. "

— Christine, 12/14/2013 -
" A very simple and light read. Not the tearjerker I though it would be. I did like the central theme of giving thanks to The Lord. If its one thing I'm constantly saying to myself, and to others, is "In the good times and on the bad times - I will praise The Lord". "
— Eneida, 12/12/2013 -

" I liked this short book. I think if we lived by the principle of expressing gratitude in all we do, we'd be happier people! There was more build-up and less of a climax than I expected, so I came away slightly disappointed. Maybe I was just hoping for the story to continue rather than end. "
