Book Description
A week at a well-known crafters’ haven sounds like just the ticket when Harriet Truman’s friend Lauren invites the Loose Threads to join her there. That’s just what it is—at first. Then Harriet’s aunt Beth says a quilt attributed to the program’s owner is identical to one she saw on a recent trip to Europe, and Lauren doesn’t hesitate to accuse Selestina Bainbridge of plagiarism. Then Selestina collapses, dead of poison, and the tranquility of the school-cum-resort explodes in a flurry of death and danger.

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.
