Fat Quarters

“Normally, I don’t read cozy mysteries. I prefer hard-hitting, fist-in-the-face noirs. But I was given an advance copy of Fat Quarters … and found I couldn’t put it down. In fact, I went back and started reading the entire Quilters Club series. I fell in love with those four middle-aged girlfriends and their assorted grandchildren and wacky neighbors who inhabit a small Midwestern town. Four stars.”
- Edward Squires, editor of Not Quite a Novella

Flying saucers? Skydivers without parachutes? Mob hits? A wagonload of gold hidden in 1830? Here, Maddy Madison and her Quilters Club pals solve a murder and locate a buried treasure with the help of her precious granddaughter Aggie and brainiac grandson N’yen … and an antique Map quilt that people are willing to kill to get. This marks the return of a weird purple-eyed UFO investigator, the appearance of a sinister new antiques dealer, and a rough landing by a pilot known as Upside Down Lou. This marks another visit to the small town of Caruthers Corners, Indiana -- home of the Quilters Club.

Marjory Sorrell Rockwell says needlecraft arts – quilting, crocheting, knitting – are pastimes every woman can appreciate. And she particularly loves quiltmaking. “It’s like painting with cloth,” she says. But when not quilting she writes mysteries about a midwestern sleuth not unlike herself, a middle-aged lady with an unpredictable family and loyal friends. And she’s a big fan of watermelon pie.
