- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Another good story in this series, with another surprise near the end that I didn't see coming. I liked the fact that the people in this quilting class tied in to the people in her previous book. And since these two stories take place where I grew up around, it was fun to read of towns I know.Emma is an Amish woman who loves to quilt and shares her love with people in her quilting classes. Most of those who attend seem to all have problems they are dealing with in their ilves and Emma (and her husband) seek to help them as best they can with their words of wisdom. It is always interesting seeing how these people change during the course of this story.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Five different people, all from different backgrounds, end up at Emma Miller's new quilting class. Some there by choice, other's, well lets say that they were in the right spot at the right time, and end up at Emma's to make a wall hanging!We journey with these people and become involved with their lives, and how they end up touching each other.There are some great surprises here, and one I loved, but never saw coming. That old quilt that needs repair, in the end does a lot of healing!I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Barbour, and was not required to give a positive review.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Once again the Plain life of the Amish tells a story of faith, family and Christian morals.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This was a really enjoyable book to read.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I Loved This Book!The author Wanda Brunstetter does it again. I was skeptical when I first started reading this book. Would it even come close to being as good as The Half-Stitched Amish Quilting Club? My answer is Yes, Yes, Yes!Once again six people from all walks of life are thrown together to learn the art of quilting. Six people who have issues going on in their lives. Some come to the class with real attitudes, some for good reasons, and one in particular perhaps to put a bad light on the Amish young people.This book was a delight to read and I loved the ending. As the ending nears there is a wonderful surprise thrown in. I didn't see it coming!This book left the possibility of another book down the road. I for one would love to see that happen!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/54 STARSI really enjoyed The Tattered Quilt. I could see where most of the story lines where going but did not even guess where one ended up. It makes me want to make a quilt again. I enjoyed reading this story.I missed the first book in the series but would not mind going back and reading it.Emma Yoder Miller is planning another quilting class when her husband suggests they go down to Florida for a vacation. Emma agrees if no one signs up for her class that she has already advertised for. She does enjoy teaching her quilting class with her husband. They touched lives in their first class together.Anna Lambright wants to do her rumschpringe time but her parents are holding onto her too tightly. She is eighteen. Her mom signed her up to take Emma's quilting class since she has had no luck teaching Anna how to sew. Anna does not want to go.Carmen Lopez lives in Los Angeles and is a reporter. Her boss wants her to get a story about Amish kids going wild for rumschringe. He wants to use her brother-in-laws contacts to meet some Amish. When she gets to Shipshewana, Indiana and finds the quilting class is getting ready to start again she signs up with her boss okay.Blaine lost a bet with friend Stuart who had taken the quilting class before so he had to take the class. He never thought he would lose a fishing bet. He would rather fish can't believe he has to make a quilt wall hanger.Selma Nash is a grouchy lonely old lady. She is never happy and tells her neighbors all the time to keep their animals and pets off their lawns. Her neighbor Jan has been keeping his dog tied up. A couple of days after her birthday he handed her Emma's name and address and told her he paid for the class for her. That was the nicest anyone had been to her in along time. She knew she would be the best sewer in the class.Jan had taken Emma's first quilting class. He surprised that he enjoyed it. Jan and Terry were working on the roof of Emma's house when a beautiful women went inside. Terry was smitten and wanted to meet her. He found out she was single and signed up for the class right then.Cheryl the blond was told that Emma might be able to help her fix her grandma's tattered quilt. Cheryl's grandmother is in a rest home and wants to bring it to her fixed up when she goes home to Oregon for her birthday. When she finds a class is starting she agrees to take the class.I like how these strangers over six week time learn about each other and make a difference in each others life. The characters had good and bad faults. They open up to each other and some change in little ways and some big. It does mention a few scriptures and prayer. A little about Amish life. Has some good humor thrown in too. It is a clean read.I have enjoyed reading Wanda E. Brunstetter's books and will continue to look for them in the future.publication: August 6th 2013 by Barbour Books 320 pages ISBN:1616260866
