The Wishing Quilt is an entertaining anthology sure to appeal to fans of quilting and contemporary romance.

One of my favorite authors is Jodi Thomas and she was the perfect one to lead off the book. The Secret Wish about a ballet dancer who is looking for a new start after an accident forced her into early retirement. She’s open to a new chapter in life but never saw the local sheriff playing a part in her life.

Wish Upon a Wedding by Lori Wilde is about a young doctor returning home for her sister’s wedding. She will be faced with her past and hopefully learn the truth and the why’s of what made her not want to return to her hometown for thirteen years.

Closing out the collection is When You Wish Upon a Quilt – Patience Griffin’s story of a textile professor attending a quilt show that leads to unexpected introductions and possibly, love.

It was an enjoyable anthology about people piecing together their next chapters in life. Recommended to fans of the anthology format (sometimes it’s the perfect way to read!) and the authors.

This is the sweet homey small-town type romances you need in your life. All of these authors are wonderful in their own right - and all three put forward great stories here. I am not a crafter of any kind - so I felt like I learned a lot about quilting in this book! Quilting feels old-fashioned and homey - but these definitely show the history and tradition of it in a very modern way. My favorite story was definitely Jodi Thomas's story - but all of them were lovely!

I received this via NetGalley as an ARC - but these opinions are all my own.

Always give me more Jodi Thomas! Bonus= Lori Wilde and Patience Griffin. This sweet, romantic novel was wonderful.

Three short novellas, centered around a wishing quilt. Saw a pattern running through connecting, but not positive the same quilt. Like the stories though, and enjoyed reading this book. Not usually a fan of novellas, but did like and highly recommend these.
