Synopsis
Welcome to San Fernando Valley, California, where Martha Rose and her coterie of quilters are enjoying life on the good side of retirement—until murder pulls a stitch out of their plans…
Martha and her besties Lucy and Birdie are set to expand their Quilty Tuesdays by inviting newcomer Claire Terry into their group. Though at forty Claire’s a tad younger than their average age, her crafty reputation could perk up their patchwork proceedings, especially as they prepare for the fancy quilt show coming to town. But when they arrive at Claire’s home and find her dead inside the front door, and her exquisite, prize-winning quilts soon missing, Martha is not one to leave a mystery unraveled. Especially if she wants to stop a killer from establishing a deadly pattern…

Knot to be missed. This first novel from Mary needs to be spirited down the drunkards path to grandmother's flower garden and enjoyed. Quilters will 'get it'.
Mysteries and quilts? You have my attention. ;) Sounds like a good one.

Sounds great and I love cozy mysteries. I just saw this at the library yesterday and I think I may have heard of the book before it came out. I've already read one mystery about quilts this year (Quilt Trip by Elizabeth Craig).

I've been retired for 14 years so I look forward to reading about those around my age being sleuths and solving murders. I love it that these senior quilters have "besties."

Sounds like a great new series and it takes place in California. I love cozy mysteries and one that takes place in Southern California makes it close to home.
I have a copy of this book ( so please dont enter me in the giveaway ) --- but I just wanted to leave a quick comment --- that I really enjoyed this cozy! Quilts are one of my favorite items to be featured in cozies!
I enjoyed the ladies in the group and the story had me guessing who done it.
This series sounds like fun.
