I enjoyed the book, the storyline and the well- developed characters. Kit Cooper has the idea for the quilt, which is to raise money for a new mammogram machine. She is battling extreme sadness because of her daughter’s death, her marital struggles and her aunt’s health. Teza Dennison is her aunt, and a fireball of energy and faith in God. She runs a farm by herself, makes quilts, preserves fruits and vegetables and is kind to everyone. Elaine Giovanni is the wife of the head surgeon and feeling loneliness due to the demands of his work. However, she is organized and dedicated to their cause (quilt etc) and knocks over roadblocks to expand their dream. Beth Donnelly is married to the pastor, Garth, and struggles with depression over the loss of their baby and a secret in her past that haunts her. These four women and their friends Sue Gunderson and Elsie May Sojourner are the hands and hearts behind creating the beautiful quilt that will be auctioned. They not only work together, they listen to each other and offer support through the challenges each are facing.

Kit also befriends a 7 year old boy who loves Kit’s dog and is missing his mom.

The story weaves in friendship, quilting techniques, faith and prayerful support that every woman needs. ( )
