Peaceful Pieces: Poems and Quilts About Peace

This is a very sweet little book, nice for use as a gift to someone who quilts or to a child. Either would appreciate it equally. The poems have wonderful life's lessons any child could relate to, all superimposed on lovely pictures of quilts made by hand. I sent it as a going away gift to a friend who is moving to be near her daughter's family with small kids. I can imagine her cuddled up to one of here grandchildren, reading this book to them. I really enjoyed it and would love to have a copy myself.

Hines' exquisitely illustrated quilted pieces are coordinated so profoundly with her poetry for youngsters and older readers alike. Shared with members of our quilting guild, the author's book made lasting impressions on techniques for both handwork and for the challenge of creating peace. Those quilters who scribbled the title in their purchase notes are sure to add this masterpiece to their library collections.

This is a beautiful book for both children and adults. Anna Hines' poems look at peace from many different perspectives and are accompanied by exquisite, highly detailed quilts made by the author to illustrate their themes. She also discusses the way she works and includes the biographies of eight peacemakers. A lovely addition to a child's library as well as a gift for adults.

Nice poems for girls and boys.

As we were working on a Peace Quilt for Quaker Meeting, I bought this book to show to the children.... The author is a phenomenal quilter. Beautifully made, original, and sometimes ingenious, this book is a delight to the eye and to the ear.

Excellent book!!

beautiful art and wonderful poetry/stories.

A lovely book of gentle poetry. There is not a lot of content but it did give me some ideas for a peace quilt. My intention was to use the book for inspiration for a lesson to teach on Fruits of the Spirit namely Peace in this instance. Although a lovely book, it is short on content for something of this nature. It is colourful and attractively illustrated.
