From authors Ruth McHaney Danner and Cristine Bolley comes a collection of meditations that quilters, both veterans and novices, will enjoy. Each of the fifty-plus chapters includes a true story on a quilt-related theme, followed by "The Quilting Frame" (a spiritual application), "God's Template" (a relevant Scripture), "The Binding Stitch" (a brief prayer), and the "Scrap Bag" (a practical quilting tip). The authors' hope is that readers will "come to realize that the ultimate Giver of comfort is God Himself, who sometimes offers His comfort through human hands holding needles and thread and scissors and fabric."
