Book Description
As long as women have been sewing, there have been boxes of scraps and recycled garments in their homes. The women of the Collins family have such a treasure box, which down through time is opened by Bridgit, who stitches her wedding dress on the Dakota prairie... Maggie, who finds healing for her broken heart in restoring a quilt... Leah, who struggles to clothe her son during World War 2... and Colleen, who reassembles her ability to trust through a scrapbook. Each will find the lessons passed down by her ancestors to be vital in building foundations for faith and love today.

 Great read November 28, 2004

SCRAPS OF LOVE is a sweet anthology guaranteed to be a quick and enjoyable read. It was fun reading how the quilt in this book got its start and how it was handled as it was passed from generation to generation.
My favorite story in this anthology is Mother's Old Quilt, but all the stories were very good.
 4 for the price of one is always good! November 15, 2004

I rarely read romance. It's just not my thing - much more of an action, suspense, and drama fellow. But this book (along with a few others - e.g. Trolley Girl) managed to keep me interested. The writing is solid, moving, and a great piece of inspirational fiction.
I found the characters much more likable (or should I say real) than I expected. I may have a skewed outlook on romance novels since my mother owns about 2,000 of them and I can barely stand to even see the cove of a romance novel. It's quite possible that books like this one can help me overcome my bias.
N-E-HOW...this is a book worth buying and reading. Great job to all the writers!
See ya next review!

This is a 5 star book with wonderful authors. I know you will enjoy the stories as much as I did.
Janet Speath starts the book off with the creation of a fun read. The heroine learns how to quilt. Enjoyable.
Lena Dooley pulls your heartstings with a story of loved ones lost and the restoration of the quilt. Pulls the emotions.
Tracey Bateman shows the effects of war on a small family. She turns the lining of the coat into a coat of many colors. A warm story
Rhonda Gibson wraps it up with a cast of characters that are fun and real. The scraps of love, lives and the quilt become a part of a scrapbook that leaves the reader wanting to see more by this author. My favorite.

As soon as I saw the title to this book it interested me as I am a scrapper myself....scrapbooks that is. All the stories are well written and loved them all but the one of the scrapbooker for me was the best. Rhonda Gibson sure as a way with her characters to make you laugh, cry and just get some great ideas from. Hoping to see something else she writes soon.
I like these types of stories October 22, 2004

Scraps of Love is 4 stories, starting in the 1800's through modern day. These stories trace the path of a patchwork quilt and how it weaves through these families. I always have enjoyed stories where an object is passed down or when it ties different people together. Definitely worth the read.
