The Christmas Quilt Book Review
The Christmas Quilt is the story of two Amish friends who get married at the same time and then become pregnant with their first babies. Their lives are intertwined as many Amish families are. They share so many of the same hopes, dreams and daily experiences of life. This is a gentle story of the relationships that are constantly changing with the new demands of marriage, pregnancy and new life.
I love these Quilts of Love books that tie the stories together using scraps of fabric and a special quilt pattern.
The Christmas Quilt
About the Book
Annie’s life is deliciously full as the Christmas season approaches. She helps her husband, Samuel, attend to the community’s minor medical needs. She occasionally assists Belinda, the local midwife, and most days, she finds herself delivering the buggy to her brother Adam. Annie’s sister-in-law Leah is due to deliver their first child before Christmas morning, and Annie is determined to finish a crib quilt before the boppli arrives. With six weeks to go, she should have no problem . . . but God may have a different plan. Leah is rushed to the English hospital when the infant arrives early, and Annie discovers the Christmas quilt may hold a far greater significance than she ever imagined.
