by Lori Wagner (Author)
Using a bit of poetic license and an alleged "Underground Railroad Quilt Code, "A Patchwork of Freedom" pieces together scraps of testimonies, fascinating bits of history, heirloom quilt patterns and Lori Wagner's insightful vignettes in tales of emancipation sure to inspire as you work through your own patches of life. "A Patchwork of Freedom" is the much anticipated follow-up to Wagner's "Quilting Patches of Life" released in 2007. This unique and creative work offers hope and encouragement through the true life experiences of Christian men and women from around the world. Contemporary stories of spiritual and emotional freedom connect with tales of escaping slaves in the pre-Civil War era through a mysterious "Underground Railroad Quilt Code." Each chapter is titled with the name of a quilt pattern associated with the "Code" or a complementary historical design that adds dimension and spiritual application to the lessons shared by the book's wide variety of contributing authors.
