"Maybelle In Stitches"
Joyce Magnin

Maybelle has a lot on her.  Her newlywed husband is overseas fighting in WWII.  She is staying with her mother, who runs a boarding house while, Maybelle works as a welder building warships.  But when her mom unexpectedly passes away, the boarding house becomes her responsibility.

While cleaning out her mother's closet, she finds her Christmas present, a quilt her mother is making using scraps from days gone by.  The quilt becomes a life line for Maybelle, as she struggles to finish it, her husband is reported missing in action. 

Will he come back and if he does will be a whole person?

I enjoyed this book very much, as my Mother is learning to quilt herself.  Quilts tell a story of a family and it's heritage.


I RECEIVED THIS COMPLIMENTARY BOOK FROM LITFUSE FOR REVIEW PURPOSES.
