Title: The Quilt
Author: T. Davis Bunn
Publisher: Bethany House
ISBN: 0-7642-2822-6
Genre: Inspirational/Fiction
As Mary moves toward the end of her life, she thinks back over the years,
remembering the good as well as the bad. She's lived a full life and is
ready to meet her Maker. Still, she has the feeling that there's something
left undone. As she stews and prays about this, Mary believes she is
supposed to make a quilt. But how can she, an aged woman with bad eyesight
and fingers gnarled by arthritis, possibly sew a quilt?
The answer soon comes in the form of her friends and family members who
insist on helping her. Mary welcomes the help, but tells every lady that
not a single stitch is to be made on the quilt unless a prayer of
thanksgiving is uttered. What begins as a difficult chore for some soon
becomes a delight as women are transformed and lives are changed.
T. Davis Bunn's latest reprint of The Quilt comes in the form of a
medium-sized gift book with beautiful illustrations. It shares Mary's
heart-warming story, which is certain to encourage all who read it.
The Quilt is allows you to get into the mind of many of its
characters and to see glimpses of their past and how the making of
the quilt is touching them today.
I especially enjoyed the pictures of quilts and the nostalgic photos of
senior citizens sewing on projects or reading the Bible. The Quilt,
dedicated to Mr. Bunn's mother and grandmothers, would make a wonderful
gift for a woman in your life.
