Heavenly Patchwork: Quilt Stories Stitched with Love (ISBN 0976237504)

Written from the Heart, and Quilted with Heart Strings!:
I'd like to paraphrase a quote from my own book, QUILTING TO SOOTHE THE SOUL, to endorse Judy Howard's wonderful book, HEAVENLY PATCHWORK: " When there is joy or stress in your life, turn to your needle and let the labor of your hands work through the images in your heart." Judy's book exemplifies all the good feelings of acceptance and resolution quilting brings to the quilt maker and receiver. It is a 'must have' addition to any personal library! Linda Carlson, author. www.lindacarlsonquilts.com

Heartwarming Book:
"It has always been my hope that each and every quilt be a product of the maker's heart as well as her hands. The quilts featured in these stories are special because they were created with love, gifted with love and received with love, continuing the tradition of quiltmaking in the best possible way." Judy B. Dales, quiltmaker, teacher, author, lecturer www.judydales.com

telling the stories of quilts:
This collection of stories bring us the history of everyday women though the memories of each storyteller. It is books like this that historians of tomorrow will go to for a sense of quilts and quilters of the past.

Stories with heart... and soul:
This is a wonderfully inspirational book. I think any quilter will enjoy piecing through it. You will laugh and probably cry. It is that heartwarming.

Community of Quilters:
"One of the great privileges of working with quilters and being part of the quilting industry is seeing first-hand the compassion that surrounds us collectively. Judy Howard's collection of stories is a beautiful example of heartfelt efforts to provide peace and support to those most in need. Quilters have a keen ability to comfort and sooth, but also strengthen, always while creating the patchwork that binds us together." Beth Hayes, Editor McCall's Quilting
