When former folk art curator Beatrice Coleman retired to Dappled Hills, North Carolina, for peace and quiet and quilting, she never expected that murder would disturb the peace...

Dwindling membership has the Village Quilters hanging by a thread, and group leader Meadow Downey is desperate to recruit some new folks. With Beatrice’s blessing, she attempts to weave frequent quilt show judge Jo Paxton into their fold. As the town’s irascible mail carrier, Jo delivers trouble wherever she goes. And with all that mail at her fingertips, she knows everyone’s business. Soon Beatrice wonders if they’ve made the right choice.

After a car accident sends Jo to meet her Maker, it’s discovered someone tampered with her brakes. Meadow believes someone’s out to eradicate the Village Quilters, but Beatrice isn’t so sure. Now she and her fellow quilters will have to piece together the clues, or a deadly killer might strike again.…

Includes quilting tips and recipes!

I find a couple of the characters really annoying, but I keep coming back

ByR. Beardon July 28, 2017

Format: Mass Market PaperbackVerified Purchase

I find a couple of the characters really annoying, but I keep coming back. The stories themselves are pretty good. And, I like that the main character, Beatrice, is more mature (age wise) than characters in so many other books of this type.

Ongoing quilt mystery

ByCJ Sewon June 9, 2013

Format: Mass Market PaperbackVerified Purchase

Having read the first one of this series; Quilt or Innocence; I loved going forward with these characters. What a diverse mix of quilting ladies. I thought I knew who did it, but was really surprised in the end. Miss Sissy "takes the cake". Just love that gal.
Pure reading enjoyment. Can't wait for the next one. Keep writing, Elizabeth!

A cozy mystery

ByCassandra T. Weaveron April 13, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This is the first book of this series I have read. I really enjoyed it. I like a good cozy mysterythat moves right along with the plot, and this one fit the bill. I am looking forward to reading more of this series. The characters were likable and if you are a quilter, you will enjoy it even more. I also liked the the way the characters interacted with each other. The way they were described by the author I could picture them and also their homes.

Retirement? Not While You Are Solving Murders!

ByJ &amp; L Rigodon April 28, 2013

Format: Mass Market PaperbackVerified Purchase

This second novel in the series known as 'A Southern Quilting Mystery,' was a treat. Not only did the murder mystery remain in the main view of the reader throughout, often the novel had me laughing out loud.

Retired Art Folk museum docent, Beatrice Coleman has moved to Dappled Hills, North Carolina to be nearer her only daughter and to learn how to 'retire.' In the first novel we are introduced to Beatrice's neighbor, Meadow Downey, a quilter. Although Beatrice had many dealing with quilters and their remarkable art projects, she herself, had never tried to quilt. Meadow, with her well intentioned pushing soon has Beatrice working on learning the art as a member of the 'Village Quilting' guild. In fact the town seems divided into the two active quilting groups, The Cut-Ups, and the Village Quilters.

In this novel, we find membership is declining as all clubs experience. This will not do for Meadow and she begins a campaign to find new members worthy of joining the guild. Meadow's eye falls upon the local mail carrier, Jo Paxton, and it doesn't hurt that Jo is also a quilting judge. Beatrice is not so comfortable with the choice of new member as she experiences arguments, threats, and the fact that Jo was 'asked' to leave the 'Cut-Ups.' Then the unthinkable occurs...death. During a monster rain storm, Jo's mail truck careens off the mountain road and Jo is killed. We soon learn, to the dismay of Police Chief, Ramsay Downey, Meadow's husband who would rather read Thoreau than solve crimes, it is a case of murder!

I really enjoyed Beatrice's mental dialog, and her deductive reasoning of the crime. I felt as though I was a house guest being allowed to follow each step of the journey with Beatrice. The ending was a great chase scene and I really laughed as the killer was brought to justice.

I'm eager to read the next novel which Obsidian tempts us with a taste of after the novel ends. It comes out in late 2013. Don't miss it...unfortunately, no title is given yet. Enjoy this series.

Another murder in this small NC community? Yep, ...

ByClassic Teacheron August 24, 2014

Format: Mass Market PaperbackVerified Purchase

Another murder in this small NC community? Yep, and another member of the quilting community! Although it seemed odd, Craig wove it into a logical and realistically plausible story. I look forward to reading the next one in the series...can I guess who'll be found dead this time?

Great series

ByBarbara M.on December 20, 2013

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Since I live in the Northeast I wasn't sure whether I would like this series or not, but I was totally hooked after the first book. I read a lot, cozies, non-fiction, some other mysteries, Cozies, like this series, are my favorites because they read easily, get you involved with the characters and mostly make you smile.

This is a good book for casual reading

This is a good book for casual reading. Her verbage gets a little redundant but book to book, but they are still interesting.
