A biker who does needlepoint, a frusturated pastor's wife, a stubborn Amish widow...

The Half Stitched Amish Quilting Club by Wanda Brunstetter was a fun read about a diverse group of people who join a quilting class taught by Emma Yoder. While Wanda is known for her Amish Fiction this book focuses more on our relationships with others and God. It is the character's lives and their struggles in their regular that draw the reader in. The only thing all these people have in common is the fact they are learning to quilt. But just as a quilt is stitched together their lives are quilted together by God as they are made stronger by sharing experiences and compassion. I really enjoyed this book it made me laugh, mourn, and cheer on the club's participants.
                                                     Have a great read, Nina
