Win One of the Quilts in My Mother’s Quilts by Ramona Richards

June 11, 2016 by Suzie Waltner 2 Comments

I’ve am not a crafty person, gave up on the idea long ago. I don’t have the patience or the talent to pull off some of the beautiful things that crafters are able to put together. My sister has this talent but in didn’t inherit that DNA I guess. To be honest, I haven’t thought of crafts (whether it be home décor, painting, or needlepoint) beyond home decorating or gift giving but a little gem of devotional book came across my lap over the past couple weeks and it made me realize there is a story behind many of these items.

In My Mother’s Quilts: Devotions of Love, Legacy, Family and Faith, Ramona Richard shares not only the beautiful quilts made by the women in her family (women of faith, strength, and prayer) but she shares a little history behind each of the quilts.

Each devotional beings with a Scripture verse and ends with a prayer starter but the real delight is in what falls in between. The stories. Stories of Richards’ grandmothers and mothers, of their love of family, God, and quilting. Stories of how when they were struggling they turned to their needlework and prayer or hymns and God’s Word. Stories of how life didn’t always turn out as expected (even for the author herself as she shares about some of the struggles of raising a daughter with severe cerebral palsy).

There is a heritage of faith woven into the quilts that the author and her brother inherited from their mother and grandmothers, and Richards honors that heritage and preserves it even more in My Mother’s Quilts. This is a book that will have you thinking of your own family and the things you’ve learned from loved ones over the years.

    We found several quilt tops my husband’s paternal grandmother had made, packing up her house after she passed. It was a great legacy to find and a treasure trove of quilting!

      I wish I’d saved some of the things my mom crocheted for us when we were younger. She made my sister and I several strawberry shortcake dolls and we had some good laughs over some Christmas stocking she crocheted (they were huge). Just and FYI, the giveaway is being sponsored by the publisher. You have to click on the link to enter the contest through them. Thanks for stopping by!
