I just finished reading Terri Thayer's three pocket mystery books about a San Jose Quilt Shop owner. They are a Wild Goose Chase, Old Maid's Puzzle and Ocean Waves. They are available through the Sacramento Library System. The first is about a quilt show, the second anniversary sale and going Online, and the last took place at Asilomar in Monterey. I've heard so much about the quilt workshops held at Asilomar but who can afford it - not me. So it was nice to read about a week long stay with lots about the surrounding area and wild life. The details of the business with lots of nasty spats among the quilters make for interesting reading. You get to see how different younger women view quilting vs. old timers. All the work that goes into designing a quilt pattern, putting together a kit and selling it for a profit are more stressful than I imagened.
Plus there is a romance developing with her brother's best friend. I heartily recommend them.
