Book Description

Life is a patchwork of separate experiences that come together into a unified whole-much like a handmade quilt. Author Mary Tatem weaves that theme into 90 story-based meditations, offering insight into peaceful, successful, godly living. This new edition of the much-loved devotional The Quilt of Life (more than 175,000 copies sold since 2000) will introduce you to the beautiful, colorful, and cozy world of quilts and the Master Designer who lovingly assembles the fabric of our existence. In addition to the encouraging devotional material, The Quilt of Life includes a bonus feature: practical tips for quilters!

More About the Author

Would you like a boost to your spirits? Ever since I learned to read, I've had a love affair with books. Through books I can enjoy grand adventures, explore new places, and delve into people's thoughts. By the time I was in second grade, I loved writing stories, silly ones full of giants in imaginary worlds. I thank my excellent teachers who encouraged creativity and provided the drive to become a writer. Memories of sleeping under my grandmother's hand-made quilt and the love of writing form a foundation of many stories in my books. My goal is to write stories to touch the reader's hearts.

As the mother of four and grandmother of fifteen, I find life full of inspiring stories. Aren't people fun? Join me in one of my books for encouraging reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Quilt of Life: A Patchwork of Devotional Thoughts, November 25, 2000
By 
Pamela Martin (Los Angeles, California USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Quilt of Life: A Patchwork of Devotional Thoughts (Paperback)
I found this book at the right moment in my life. My Spiritual growth and interest in quilts have coincided with each other. After the completion of a huge quilt project with a mother's organization, this book put into words the loving touch of God that we felt with every stitch. As an indication of how I feel about this book, I am buying 25 copies for Christmas gifts!

By A Customer
This review is from: The Quilt of Life: A Patchwork of Devotional Thoughts (Paperback)
I was given this book for my birthday. It combines my love of quilting with stories of God's love. The quilting tips with each devotional is a great idea. I am ordering several for gifts.

5.0 out of 5 stars Memorable Stories, Easy Read, October 27, 2000
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Quilt of Life: A Patchwork of Devotional Thoughts (Paperback)
I found these stories easy to read. The book is set up as a series of devotional stories. I often found myself thinking about the uplifting stories during the day. I especially enjoyed the story "Down in the Dumps" about a quilter who survived by making quilts from scraps at a neighboring garment factory. A excellent feel-good book.
