A life for over forty years decorating her Victorian home for Christmas for family and friends. Then moving to a little condo to be close to daughter and grandchildren, was even a memory as they moved to another state for a new job. A son he was spending it with her family in Montana. Outside the window was as she felt, bleak and alone. A knock on her door. changed her life. A child asking for help, the family came thinking Oregon was like Ireland, a job was hard to find….Excellent Story

This is such a sweet book to read and a fast read, too! Vera has sold her home and is living in a new condo in a new city, feeling displaced and out of sorts with the holidays coming. Then she meets her new neighbors, precocious children with a sick mom and a father working out of town. Vera starts a quilting group to surprise the mom and ends up creating a special kind of family. Heartwarming and delightful book with lovable characters and a great message. All opinions are my own.

A Quilt for Christmas by Melody Carlson is a charming Christmas novella. 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. 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.
