Publisher Description

When an antique bridal quilt appears under mysterious circumstances at the vintage clothing shop where Rachel Grant works, she is fascinated. She has never been able to resist handmade textiles from the past, for she believes that through the ages, women wove protective magic into their fabrics in order to mark the important events of their lives: birth, marriage, and death.

But there is more than good in the quilt's magic power. Day by day Rachel sees and feels the power growing, as she senses the quilt influencing her thoughts and actions. Much as Rachel's logical mind longs to deny the supernatural, the aura of evil coming from the quilt is terrifyingly real, and it seems to carry a sinister legacy into the lives of the people Rachel loves.

"This book really took me by surprise! It was a bit slow and confusing to start out with, but as it went on I became hooked. There's a mix of a subtle romance developing along with some paranormal aspects that I personally love. But none of it was so far out there that the average romance reader wouldn't have also enjoyed this book. Not to mention an element of mystery for those types of readers!"

    " A little slow here and there, and the end was kind of anticlimactic for a book that trufax involves possession. But I thought the mystery was very decent, all things considered. "

    " I'm not sure I really enjoyed this story. It had witchcraft and a lot of interesting information about quilts and antiques but I found the writing difficult to follow. Often a descriptive paragraph would begin and I wasn't sure who the subject was until the end of the paragraph...it made for confusion for me. The last 1/4 of the book really got interesting and the storyline picked up but I had to force myself to finish the book just to figure it out. The characters were very quick to agree on everything and accept what was happening with little reaction. I do think this could have been a much more exciting story if it had been rewritten more carefully. "

    " The plot is thin, and so are the characters; but the premise is intriguing, so intriguing that I dashed right through it and enjoyed it immensely despite its obvious flaws. "I stitched my soul right into that quilt"; is it magic or is it a tapping into a force beyond what we can easily explain ... "
