Summary

Can three sisters stitch their family back together?

Loretta has run the little sewing shop in Butterbury for years, while bringing up her three headstrong daughters. Her own grandmother taught her how to quilt, and Loretta always found time to sit with Daisy, Ginny and Fern, pulling together scraps of material - and their hopes and dreams - into a beautiful whole.

But this Christmas the family is coming apart at the seams: Fern feels like she's failing at motherhood and marriage, Ginny's passion for her job as a midwife is fading, Daisy is keeping two very different secrets - and most of all, Loretta seems to be hiding something from her daughters....

As they come together to create a beautiful new festive quilt, memories are stirred, the bonds between sisters healed and new friendships woven. But when Loretta reveals the real reason she's gathered them all back to the sewing shop, can the sisters mend the quilt, and their family, in time for Christmas?

Full of kindness, community and festive magic, this is a treat to curl up with this Christmas! Perfect for fans of Cathy Bramley, Jenny Colgan and Ali McNamara.

A pleasant listen…

Overall a nice story, but quite repetitive in the narrative, and slow to reveal the obvious plot twist. A pleasant listen none the less.

Warm and affection Christmas story

I loved the narration and the style of the book, whereby each character had a chapter. The story was warming and lovely without being too sickly. A real winter winner

Easy listening

A ‘real’ family full of emotions and old hurts who come together and begin healing through crafting. A bit slow. Half way through I almost gave up because of that but I’m glad I didn’t. Well narrated, I grew to like all the different characters in the family.
Personally I would have preferred more about the sewing shop and maybe other village characters in there too but it’s a good story for all that.

Beautiful

From the first word the to last word, this story was magnificent, magical and memorable.
All the characters were well-written and how the story panned out was so special.

Found the narration to this book so awful that I couldn't bear to listen to it for longer than a few minutes.
