Lilly's Wedding Quilt by Kelly Long

I really enjoyed this book. It is the type of book that when you start to read it you just cann't put it down, This book it about Lilly an Old Order Amish school Teacher. Lilly is late for the wedding of Sarah King who Jacob Wyse was determined to marry but she was marring another man. Sarah's horse is acting strange and it is raining and Sarah is getting wet finally the horse stops and Sarah knows she has to get him to shelter she is near a barn and as she opens the door a man stares down at her it is Jacob. When he took off his coat to give to her as she was soaked from the rain she noticed blood on his shirt and she knew he was the horse theive the Englisch police officer was looking for. Sarah changed into clothing of Jacobs mother which were to short for her and she and Jacob went to the wedding. The police officer arrived at the wedding looking for the horse theif when Jacob was questioned where he was last evening Sarah spoke up and said he was with me. Jacob did not want her to throw away her reputation so Jacob said ya it is true we were talking aboutour future.  Congratulate us on our engagement.                                    Sarah told Jacob that before she spoke up in his defense she had the idea of quilt. They are made from scraps of material but never from a whole piece of cloth.She likes quilting and if God gives us the ability to put pices of scraps together to make beautiful quilts how much more of a gift does He give us to put scraps of lives together for His glory.                         

An Amish girl works on a quilt before she is married and the women and girls help her Lilly has not had time to make a quilt because teaching and taking care of her sick mother has keep her busy. This is a book you must read to see how God works things out in their lives.        DISCLOSURE OF MATERIAL CONNECTION: I received this book free from Thomas Nelson Publishing.
