Pattern for Romance Quilts of Love Series by Carla Olson Gade
I had just last week finished one of the other books in this series by a different author and know I'm going to enjoy reading the rest. I have already been approved to read them via NetGalley-this will make the hot summer days go by faster for me.
Loved hearing all about the piecework quilts as I've watched my mom work on them. They are quite the process.
This one is set in colonial Boston 1769. Joshua Sutton, whose family owns the clothiers has rescued from the hailstorm a woman who has fainted. Honour Metcalf has also lost her workbag with her keepsake embroidery items in the process. Love how the book got it's title.
Politics and taxes effect everything coming from England and France...
'be faithful to trust His handiwork, even when the pattern isn't clear' is a good quote in this book that sets the story line.
Misunderstandings at the birthday party cause a lot of upheaval...and provide a wealth of knowledge that explains things.
She becomes sick from infections and fainting and others take her in along with her sister but she really wants to locate her quilt from her mother-it's all she would have left. As she gets better she finds peace in reading the Bible scriptures and verses. She is threatened and her sister as well.
Joshua won't cross the line to retrieve her quilt=it's against everything he believes in.
Raw Edges excerpt-the next in the Quilt of Love series, by Angela Breidenbrach is included.
I received this book from Net Galley via Abingdon Press in exchange for my honest review.
