I enjoyed this book despite my not having time to read it. THE HALF-STITCHED AMISH QUILTING CLUB by Wanda E Brunster, is a wonderful story of an Amish widow who decides to teach quilting and invites non-Amish individuals to her home. She discovers the joys of meeting new people and the realities of life outside of a religious community. TI confess, though I have the print version my schedule prevented me form reading thus I changed to an audiobook.
The book centers around the life struggles of: an angry young female, a widow, a biker who lost his drivers license, a grieving widower, a couple in marital distress and a frustrated Pastor’s wife, each with their own reasons for wanting to learn how to quilt.o The Amish woman thought it would be a class in which she taught a group of women in a pleasant atmosphere this was not the case.
THE HALF-STITCHED AMISH QUILTING CLUB is a book that is 312 pages, 9 hours 2 minutes in audio, I was not a fan of the narrated and will probably read the next book, unless there is a different narrator.
I am glad that I do have the print because, I am a quilter and there was a bonus for those who did. Included in the book were pictures a pattern and a recipe.
7 QUILT PICTURES 1) One Patch 2)Weaver Fever 3)Double Wedding Ring 4)Lone Star 5)The Log Cabin 6) The Dahlia 7)the
Tumbling Block
1 QUILT PATTERN
There was also a RECIPE: Emma Yoder’s Angel Cram Pie
I am not making the pie but I love the quilt pattern with instrucions as well as the pictures
In addition there are discussion questions for a book club
I did enjoy the book which is one in a series of 4, I will complete the series; I do not think this book is for everyone. I suspect the target audience is for a younger audience, unless it was just the way the narrator interpreted it. I like clean novels no: sex, violence, or profanity and appreciate the infusion of faith in the story. Of course their is faith in the book, “Amish” is in the title and a pastor’s wife is one of the charachters. It is an enjoyable story.
