Quilts from many traditions span generations and are beloved by those who craft them from scratch as well as those who buy them to decorate their homes. This talented novelist is also a talented quilter, and here she combines the two skills in a most creative and engaging manner. The Patchwork Circle series of novels develops the varied lives and interests of characters in a church sewing circle. The women of the local church ladies society in Maintown, Oregon, eagerly await the arrival of the new circuit-riding preacher--a bachelor, they've been told. To welcome him, they and their eligible daughters decide to make him a quilt. The project turns into a fierce competition as each young woman tries to outdo the other in creating a quilt block so exquisite that it--and she--will gain the attention of the young minister. But the "preacher" turns out to be anything but--merely a handsome opportunist. His humorous blunders and the young ladies' obvious attempts to snare him combine to make a delightful and poignant read. And the gentle reminder that God accomplishes His purposes--sometimes in spite of us--will warm readers' hearts.
