How far is it to Bethlehem? by Rachel W.N. Brown, from the book Adoration Quilts - Appliqué Nativity Projects, published by Martingale and Company.
For her book, Rachel W.N. Brown created projects based on the Nativity, along with stories, scriptural background and meditations that remind us of the true meaning of the holiday. One reviewer on Amazon.com said: "Ms. Brown takes you on a Biblical and personal journey with each quilt block...After reading the role each block plays in telling the story of Jesus' birth, I felt better prepared to tell the story, creating my own nativity quilt."

Thank you so much for featuring my book. After 23 years, and ironically just 1 week before the 2020 pandemic quarantine, I closed my shop in Staunton, VA and retired. My book is out of print, but is still available as an e•book and can also be purchased on used book sights. I continue to sew and quilt, but also have time for gardening and pottery and a host of other activities.
