The Half-Stitched Amish Quilting Club Description
Lives are transformed...one stitch at a time.
As Amish widow Emma Yoder contemplates the task ahead, her thoughts center on one: What if she fails? Longing to remove a burden from her family by becoming self-sufficient, Emma has offered to hold quilting classes in her home. But when she sees the patchwork of faces assembled for the first lesson, her confidence dwindles as doubt threatens to take hold. There's Star Stephens, a young woman yearning for stability; Pam and Stuart Johnston, a struggling couple at odds in their marriage; Paul Ramirez, a widowed father hoping to find solace in finishing a quilt; Jan Sweet, a rough and tough biker looking for something creative to do; and Ruby Lee Williams, a preacher's wife seeking relaxation amid mounting parish problems.
While Emma grows to realize her ability to share her passion for quilting and her faith, the beginning quilters learn to transform scraps of fabric into beauty. And slowly, their fragmented lives begin to take new shape - some in unexpected ways - with the helping hands of each other and the healing hand of God.

Amish widow Emma Yoder decides to conduct lessons on how to quilt- so she put notices around of her classes. First Star Stephens a troubled young girl- finds her grandmother had signed her up for the quilting lessons just days before she had died. Star decides as a tribute to her grandmother to go on and take the quilting lessons. Jan Sweet a big - tough biker- has been in trouble with the law- driving under the influence. Jan Sweet is on probation and his probation officer recommends to Jan that he find a creative outlet. When Jan sees Emma's quilting classes advertised he signs up. Then we have Pam and Stuart Johnson - a married couple with problems. Pam feels Staurt doesnt spend enough time doing things with her that she likes. She makes a deal with Stuart- if he goes to the quilting classes with her- she will go camping with him (Which Pam absolutely hates camping)!!! Ryby Lee WIlliams signs up for the quilting class because she feels kinda restless- her husband is a preacher and Ruby Lee thinks that maybe quilting will be a way to release her problems and emotions she is going through!!! Then last of all we have Paul Ramirez- who is a widower- left with a small baby (11 months old)!! Paul had a quilt for his little girl that his wife had started before she was killed in an accident. Paul takes the quilting class - first thinking he would just go long enough to find someone to finish the quilt for him!! Paul quickly discovers he would rather take the classes and finish the quilt himself!!!
Such an odd assortment of people lead to quite a site!!! However Emma Yoder feels a connection with each and everyone of her quilting students!!! The students soon find out not only does Emma Yoder know how to quilt bus she has some good advice to offer as well!!!
