I've heard of Marie Bostwick but never read her books before. I didn't realize she was a Christian author either but that doesn't bother me since I've read this genre before. I don't mind them as long as they don't get “preachy.” This was in a general way with a few Bible quotes throughout by one character.

I really enjoyed getting to know the residents of the small town of New Bern, CT and the quilters and especially long time friends, Tessa and Madelyn, who had a falling out when they were 12 and never spoke until they both moved back.

It was a cute book and I especially loved the ending. ( )

Wonderful story of friendship, lost and found. And the joys and woes of living in a small town. Great quilting setting and group of quilters. Love meeting the new people and getting to visit again with the old guard. ( )

Tessa's recently opened Lavender store is failing, and her marriage is strained. Madelyn's husband is convicted of a Ponzi scheme, so she's back in town owning nothing except her late grandmother's dilapitated cottage. Both are childhood friends, now brought back together by the power of the women in the quilting shop circle. Nice read ( )

Another great Cobble Creek book.

This one although touching on some of the characters in the previous books deals with 2 new main characters.
Maddie moves back to New Bern, a town that she does not have fond memories of. Tessa, her old best friend, is back there now too. This is their story with some quilting thrown in.

This reminds me quite a bit of the Elm Creek Quilt series, that I love.

On the first page I laughed.

In the second chapter, I was confused.

I like this book. It is different than the others in the series as Tessa and Madelyn are the main characters and the other Cobbled Court Quilters play supporting roles. I was confused in the second chapter, because Tessa was talking to Evelyn and Charlie and I wasn't oriented to the main characters yet.
