Four novellas to get lost in, whether you have just a few minutes or more time, you can read one, or maybe another in one sitting. Each have a bit of romance, and as you can see by the title each has quilting or sewing involved. These are all set in different locations and a time after the Civil War, and so there is a historical point to each, along with some talented women. I enjoyed this read, and no I couldn’t sit down and read just one, so now I want more! I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Barbour, and was not required to give a positive review.

Set in the post Civil War 1800s, these four stories all include a quilt that has special meaning to one of the characters, and each included a character that has a special love for the art of sewing. Each story would be considered romantic fiction. While all three stories were sweet, I found three to seem more realistic than the fourth. I would have given three of the four stories 3 ½ stars and the remaining one 2 stars as I kept arguing aloud with the author (really glad no one else was home to witness that). If you are a fan of the needle arts and like a sweet story that is not too in-depth, I recommend this book to you. I appreciate having received a copy of Thimbles and Threads from Barbour Books via NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinion. I was under no obligation to provide a positive review and received no monetary compensation.

“I don’t deserve forgiveness.” “None of us do. But the Lord freely gives His forgiveness to us.” No surprise, there's an enchanting sewing and quilts theme throughout the book, Christian Historical Romance. With these authors you can't go wrong. Lovely stories with depth of character and interesting variety. Texas 1884, Charleston, South Carolina Summer 1886, Rockledge, Colorado 1884, Regent, Colorado 1885. Strong talented women, special men. Some broken lives ready for mending. Good read!
