I received an electronic galley for this book and I loved it! I took so many notes that I stopped because I was writing nearly the whole book on paper. (smile)
I don't think I've share this before but I'm a member of a Prayer Shawl Ministry. I teach people to make prayer shawls and I love it. I feel like God has truly allowed me to be a blessing to someone else. I hope you enjoy the interview and that it will encourage you to get a copy for yourself.

My Review
RATING:
Janet Bristow and Victoria A. Cole-Galo, the authors of “The Crocheted Prayer Shawl Companion, show their love for comforting others through handcrafts by creating this wonderful companion book for crocheters interested in creating prayer shawls.
The is a nifty books that you will keep close by for several reasons including, but not limited to, the brief history of prayer shawls, how to begin creating prayer shawls, how to start a Prayer Shawl Ministry, a color and symbology chart and of course patterns. However, what I found most enjoyable about the book was reading about their journey while creating www.shawlministry.com and the detailed way they communicated the heart, love, and prayers that is shared in each stitch.
As a member of a Prayer Shawl Ministry, I have seen our work impact people in the most profound ways. It is hard to explain to someone that have not been on a giver or receiver of a prayer shawl, however, Janet and Victoria do an awesome job. You could share this book with anyone and they would truly understand through the personal stories throughout the book.
I enjoyed reading this book and I am working on a prayer shawl using one of their patterns now. Patterns aside this is a GREAT resource for crocheters and it would be a wonderful read for anyone interested in learning how handcrafts can comfort others in a time of need. Bravo!
