Overview

Draw these stories around yourself like a well-loved quilt

Quilters flip through books and magazines and sort through scraps of fabric when planning a new quilt. But when God created you, he took more time and care than even the most careful quilter. Through inspiring stories based on twelve beloved quilt patterns, Mary Tatem uncovers the joy we have in God and the hope of beautiful things yet to come. You'll enjoy stories featuring the following quilt blocks:

Pickle Dish
Pine Tree
Bear Claw
Crazy Quilt
School House
Drunkard's Path
Tumbling Blocks
Le Moyne Star
Love Apple
Mariner's Compass
Rose of Sharon
Wandering Foot

Whether you're a quilter or quilt lover, Quilt of Joy will reassure you of God's faithfulness and his desire to bring blessing to your life.

You'll be pleased you did!"--Jane Kirkpatrick, award-winning author, A Mending at the Edge and Aurora: An American Experience in Quilt, Community, and Craft
