The Crazy Quilter

When Dana's great-aunt Angie passes away, she is bequeathed an unexpected inheritance-Angie's New England quilt shop. But as Dana questions whether the lifestyle of a small-town quilt shop owner will fit her, strange things are happening, leading Dana to wonder if Angie's restless spirit might haunt the shop. What dark secrets did Angie harbor? Why are her most prized quilts mysteriously missing? Should Dana keep the quilt shop? Even if it is haunted by a crazy quilter?

Dana is embraced in her search by a group of local quilters: Edna, Janet, Alice, and Margo. These four women become Dana's allies and friends as she delves into her family's hidden history and the enigmas of quilting.

This charmingly haunted tale blends mystery, quilting, and the power of family to uncover the essential meaning of being true to yourself and finding the threads that stitch a heritage.

This book began as a funny short story. But as I researched the history of insane asylums, it grew into a family history with missing heirloom quilts and a demonstration of the community-building power of quilting, along with quilting as personal therapy. A cozy fall read that takes you from Halloween to Thanksgiving in a haunted New England quilt shop.
