SUMMARY: Once again Sarah Hart is busy restoring a quilt that involves a mystery - newspaper articles hidden in the lining and a mystery message stitched on the back. Is her previous boarder, Emily, involved in fraud and what mystery is the long time, small town Collins family hiding?
REVIEW: Quick, easy to read mystery in the style of the Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew. No murders but rather hidden secrets waiting to be discovered. For those who are quilters, the two more seldom used techniques involved in this story, quilt as you go and mosaic, will be interesting. I did pretty much figure out "who done it" before the end, but this was still a very enjoyable read. This series was put out by Guideposts, and it written by a variety of well known Christian authors.
FAVORITE QUOTES: "She wondered if looking down at the quilt was something like God looking down at our lives. Up close, it was easy to get lost in the details of the tiny pieces, and miss the larger shapes of the figures they created. Some times it seemed as if all the pieces would never come together in a way that made sense. But from God's perspective, everything had been part of a beautiful pattern all along."
"Now each of the scraps, too small and insignificant to be shapes on their own, came together in a dazzling picture. It was so much like the way God drew together the strands of many lives, even using the hard pieces, like illness and secrets, to make a wonderful story. "
