Even if you aren't a quilter you'll find much to love in the
books of the Cobbled
Court Quilt Circle where women find support, help,
friendship and most of all love in a small town in New
England. Marie is giving away the fourth book of the series,
THREADING
THE NEEDLE.
In this luminous prequel to her beloved Cobbled Court Quilts
series, New York Times bestselling author Marie
Bostwick takes readers into the heart of a small Texas town
and the soul of a woman who discovers her destiny there. .
.
Welcome to Too Much--where the women are strong-willed
and the men are handsome yet shiftless. Ever since Mary Dell
Templeton and her twin sister Lydia Dale were children,
their Aunt Velvet has warned them away from local boys. But
it's well known that the females in Mary Dell's family have
two traits in common--superior sewing skills and a fatal
weakness for men.
While Lydia Dale grows up petite
and pretty, Mary Dell just keeps growing. Tall, smart, and
sassy, she is determined to one day turn her love of sewing
into a business. Meanwhile, she'll settle for raising babies
with her new husband, Donny. But that dream proves elusive
too, until finally, Mary Dell gets the son she always
wanted--a child as different as he is wonderful. And as Mary
Dell is forced to reconsider what truly matters in her
family and her marriage, she begins to piece together a life
that, like the colorful quilts she creates, will prove
vibrant, rich, and absolutely unforgettable. . .
In her compelling, beautifully crafted novel, New York
Times bestselling author Marie Bostwick celebrates
friendships old and new--and the unlikely threads that
sometimes lead us exactly where we need to be. . .
The economic downturn has hit New Bern, Connecticut, and
Tessa Woodruff's herbal apothecary shop, For the Love of
Lavender, is suffering. So is her once-happy
thirty-four-year marriage to Lee. They'd given up everything
to come back to New Bern from Boston and start their
business, but now they're wondering if they made the right
decision. To relieve the strain, Tessa signs up for a
quilting class at the Cobbled Court Quilt Shop, and to her
surprise, rediscovers the power of sisterhood - along with
the childhood friend she thought she'd lost forever...
Madelyn Beecher left New Bern twenty years ago and never
looked back. But when her husband is convicted of running a
Ponzi scheme and she's left with nothing but her late
grandmother's cottage, she is forced to return to the town
she fled. Unfortunately, the cottage is in terrible shape.
Madelyn's only hope is to transform it into an inn. But to
succeed, she'll need the help of her fellow quilters,
including the one friend she never thought she'd see again -
or forgive. Now Madelyn and Tessa will have to relive old
memories, forge new ones, and realize it's possible to start
over, one stitch at a time - as long as you're surrounded by
friends...
