Welcome to the Takeover Blitz for A Quilt for Christmas by Melody Carlson, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!
ABOUT THE BOOK
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
My Thoughts
A Quilt for Christmas by Melody Carlson is a charming Christmas novella.
I started reading A Quilt for Christmas, and I did not want to put the
book down. The story has friendly,
relatable characters. I like Melody
Carlson’s writing style. It is engaging
and draws the reader into the story. I
really liked the theme of the book. The
various strangers came together to help someone in need. A little girl wants a special Christmas quilt
for her mother. The various characters
work together to create Christmas magic.
They make a difference in a family’s life and in each of their own
lives. The Christmas spirit is at work
in this sweet story. A Quilt for Christmas is about forgiveness, helping others, love, and Christmas. It is a simple but heartwarming novella. I look forward to reading Melody Carlson’s
latest Christmas book each year. This
Christmas novella is one of my favorites by this author (in the top three). It is a story that makes you feel good and put
you in the mood for Christmas (with plans to help a few neighbors). A Quilt for Christmas is an uplifting tale
with an unwell neighbor, a daughter’s request, an effective flyer, conflicting
characters, a rewarding romance, a gratifying gift, and the Christmas
spirit.
Excerpt
“Can you make a quilt for Mama?”
Fiona asked eagerly.
“I—uh—I don’t know.”
“She wants one so bad.” Fiona’s eyes brightened with hope. “I
can help you make it. We’ll make a quilt for Mama to make her better.”
Vera didn’t know what to say but hoping to distract Fiona from
thoughts of death and sickness, she slowly nodded. “I might be able to quilt
your mother something.” She imagined a small project . . . something
that would distract her from feeling sorry for herself during the holidays. “Maybe
a pillow. Or even a small lap quilt.” She held her hands a couple of feet
apart. “You know, like this.”
“No, Mama needs a big patchwork quilt,” Fiona insisted. “For
her big bed. Can you do it, Mrs. Swanson? Please—please! Mama would be
so happy. I promise to help.”
Vera didn’t know what to say.
“And we will give it to her for Christmas,” the precocious child
continued.
Vera blinked. A big quilt? By Christmas? Now that would take
a miracle.
