Lovely!
The Message on the Quilt.
This heart-worming story about love from first sight, hunting past, shady background and unknown future is very inspiring. Absolutelly worth reading...
I love reading novels that arent just a cute romance but also a lecture for life.
Autor present three people - Grace who chose to live in sin but after a few decades and million sins decides to come home..
- Noah who spent his life searching for the truth about his background and finaly finds it wishing he never did
- and ofcourse Em who is staring the biggest decisions in the face...
Who impressed me was Loreta - she met them all and put them into right perspective, I really liked her advices, acceptance and simple look on life.
Read it love it and certainly learn from it!!! You wont be dissapointed!!

Great Read
Emilie loves to write and wants more then anything to write articles for her fathers paper but her parents are not keen on the idea and after getting herself in trouble for helping with the print press she is not even allowed to write the local goings on column. She is left with a great idea for a story and the competition paper to write for. Noah has come to Nebraska for a job but also to see if he can find out answers about his mother. All he has is her stories and the quilt she made him when he was a boy. When these two cross paths love begins to bloom but when Noah finds out some things about his past that shake him to the core and EmilieâÂÂs story causes family problems can they find a way to make it work?
This is the final book in the series and I really liked it.
What I liked: I really liked Emilie. She was frustrated with her parents but still loved them. Her three cousins where also quite likable. Noah was a interesting character and I liked the mystery that came from his past. I also found the big fair they all where a part of quite cool to learn about and it was fun to imagine being there.
What I did not like: As much as I liked the story about Noah and his father I thought it was a little over the top on his reaction. I know it was a time period thing but how that ended was kind of lukewarm. I also thought that Emilie and her parents worked out their issues about her writing way to easily and I was kind of left going really thatâÂÂs how that ends?
Over all I really liked this book and its easily my favorite of the series. I wish the cousins could have had a chance to have a book as well because I really liked them. I also thought it was neat how the quilt helped Noah learn about his past. This book can easily be read as a stand alone no need to read the first two books. I highly recommend it.

Loved It!
Wow, I really really enjoyed this book! I knew IâÂÂd like itâ¦just didnâÂÂt know IâÂÂd like it this much. It was even better than Key on the Quilt, which I loved! The heroine, Emilie, was feisty, funny, fascinating and to be honest â so much fun! Besides which, she shares a name with a great-grandma of mine (who pronounced it Amelia â yes, really). And then the hero, Noah â also a pretty neat guy, with a very interesting background. The book had all the things needed to make a âÂÂgoodâ book, and was actually super sweet. I look forward to re-reading it many times in the future!

Excellent 1890âÂÂs Christian Historical
Emilie Rhodes is eighteen, the daughter of a newspaper owner, and wants to be a journalist against the wishes of her parents. She plans a series of articles around the annual Chautauqua in her home town of Beatrice, NebraskaâÂÂwhen she is not accompanying her three cousins, the singing Spring Sisters (a Chautauqua is a musical, cultural and educational festival).
Noah Shaw was orphaned at thirteen, but despite his disadvantaged childhood has managed to create a successful career as an actor, performing at events around the country. He meets and is immediately attracted to Emilie, but a chance discovery about his parents might mean the end of the relationship.
There are a variety of supporting characters to add depth and interest to the plot, but not so many as to become confusing, and I liked all the characters. The plot was interesting and it was evident that the Chautauqua and the emerging womenâÂÂs rights movement had been well-researched, but not so much that this intruded on the story. I like my historical fiction to be historically accurate, so this was a big plus.
I also liked the way the characters interacted, particularly Emilie and Noah. Their attraction was immediate, and believable. It is a whirlwind romance, but it rang true as they both had a shared Christian faith and common interests in the arts, with EmilieâÂÂs journalism and piano-playing, and NoahâÂÂs acting and reciting. Most importantly, I could feel the attraction in the writing, which is no small achievement.
I have enjoyed all the books in this series, but I think this was my favourite, partly because I could relate to Emilie trying to find her way to use her God-given talents in a male-dominated field. Each book can be read as a stand-alone, and they can be read in any order, as the common theme is a quilt, not characters or specific location. Recommended.
