 About the book:
Thea's first quilt show is coming apart at the seams!
Thea James has accepted an assignment as co-chairperson for Larkindale's first quilt show extravaganza. Juggling the new assignment with running her antique business, she's already feeling frayed when things start to unravel.
Mary-Alice Wentworth, a much-loved town matriarch, respected quilt judge, and Thea's dear friend, is covertly conked on the head during the kick-off Quilt Show Soiree, throwing suspicion on her guests. It also appears that a valuable diamond brooch has been stolen during the attack. The family is furious. But is it because of their mugged mother or the missing diamonds?
When a renowned textile expert goes MIA and the famous Wentworth heritage quilt disappears, Larkindale's reputation as a tourist haven is at risk. Thea attempts to piece the mystery together and save the town's investment in the quilt show before Mary-Alice is attacked again . . . with far worse results.
Author and speaker Cathy Elliot nourishes her night-owl habit by creating cozy mysteries and more on her trusty laptop in Anderson, California. Like the protagonist in her new mystery, Cathy is an avid quilter. Besides collecting (too much) cool fabric, she also enjoys hunting for antique treasures.

My Review:
I enjoyed Cathy's Quilts of Love novel, "A Stitch in Crime." This story is filled with mishap after mishap and keeps the reader guessing to the end as to who is behind the attacks and incidents that cause Thea's events to not turn out as planned. Thea is an interesting main character, she has a fascinating job and has also taken on the task of co-chairing this first quilt show extravaganza for her town, which has many smaller events leading up to the big ones. However, to Thea it feels as if she is doing it all on her own as her co-chair seems to be MIA a lot of the time and also to add to this stress she has to deal with old "friends" and their not so helpful advice and assistance as well. At times I felt distracted from the story and sidetracked by Thea's thoughts and there seemed to be this additional storyline going on that did not always flow too well with the main storyline. However, this did allow for me to really feel like I knew Thea and made her so much more real as well. I recommend this book and the others in this series as well for anyone who quilts or has interest in them; you will most definitely enjoy this series!
