About the Book
Maybelle In Stitches | A Quilts of Love book.
Maybelle Kazinzki can’t sew. She was after all, the only girl in the seventh grade Home Economics class to sew the zipper in the neck hole of the A-Line dress they were supposed to make. But when she finds an unfinished quilt in the attic of her mother’s house she gets the crazy idea to finish it—somehow, come heck or high water. She thinks it will help fill the lonely nights while her husband, Holden, is serving overseas during World War II.
Her recently departed mother’s quilt is made from scraps of material Maybelle traces back to her mother’s childhood, her grandmother’s childhood and her own childhood. She tries to add one of Holden’s stripes to it but the sewing is not going well and neither is her life. After receiving some harsh news, Maybelle’s faith falters and she puts the quilt away and stops trusting God. But God is faithful- no matter what. And it’ll take a group of neighborhood women armed with quilting needles to help Maybelle believe that.

My review;
It is so hard to be able to even think about maybe losing a husband like Maybelle had to during a war. This book is about the men and women who fought during the Second World War. This story was like the one that my family had to endure. My Uncle was captured during the War and he was reported missing. A couple of months later they found out he was a prisoner of war. Our family had to wait a long time to be reunited. This is a story of true faith, love and family. I give this book a 5/5. I was given this book by Litfuse Publicity Group and all opinions are my own.
