Product Description
Quilters understand with every stitch how God can make even scraps wonderfully new and striking with a little time, imagination, and love. Now, in Beautiful Threads, Mary Tatem pieces quilters' spiritual insights and stories into a uniquely-crafted devotional that features twelve of the most beloved and recognizable quilt patterns in America. Readers will discover the historical background of each pattern and be enchanted by the beautiful line art and spiritual reflections on faith, creativity, gratitude, patience, hope, and more. With the turn of every page, readers will see the intricate threads of God's work in the lives of his people. They also will find a new way to think about God-as the One who pieces together all of the mismatched pieces of their lives into a glorious whole. Encouragement, inspiration, and celebration await readers as they discover that, in God's design, even the smallest scraps or most frayed fragments can be fashioned into something new, complete, comfort-giving, and beautiful.

Read or use for a devotional! May 1, 2005
15 out of 15 found this review helpful
Beautiful Threads: Pieces of Encouragement for Quilters is 49 heartwarming stories filled with historical facts, spiritual insights and a passion for fabric and the end result; quilts. You don't have to be a quilter or even know one to enjoy this book and the message Tatem delivers. But if you happen to be a quilter, it will delight you.
Tatum starts each section of the book with a description of a quilt pattern, continues with the quilt stories and ends with a Bible verse and a small devotion-like paragraph.
It was a cold spring day when I began reading this book. I wrapped myself in the lovely quilt made for me by my mother-in-law, fixed some tea and lost myself in the stories of hope, faith and love. There is, I learned a similarity between quilting and mixing and matching the pieces, threads and fabrics of our lives.
This is a wonderful book to keep by your bed (to be read or used as a devotional) or to give as a gift to a special person in your life.
