The Sewing Shop

The Sewing Shop is a new feel-good romance book for 2021. It's the second book in the Sewing, Crafts & Quilting series of books. It can be read as a standalone book, or as part of the series. Includes a Sewing Shop embroidery pattern.

Story:
Iona, a quilter, goes to the Scottish Highlands to work in the local village quilt shop during the summer. It's a temporary job, selling beautiful quilts, lovely fabric, yarn and embroidery kits, and helping with the sewing bee.

Iona isn't looking for romance, but when she meets the mystery man owner of the new Sewing Shop, he's attracted to her, but is she interested in him? Or is Kier, the rich and handsome flower grower, the man for her? Or perhaps Gairn, the baker and budding chocolatier?

The new sewing shop owner is an expert quilter, and inherited the old-fashioned sweetie shop that he's now opened as a sewing shop to sell his quilts and fabric.

Knowing that this is only a summer job, Iona is reluctant to have the hot summer fling that the sewing bee ladies encourage her to enjoy. But as the summer hots up, Iona wonders if the man for her, and a happy future in the Highlands, could be waiting for her here.

In this feel-good romance there's quilting, sewing, embroidery, handsome men, mystery and mischief, friendship and fun and vintage dresses galore.

Note:
The book includes an embroidery pattern, designed by the author, De-ann Black, to download. The Sewing Shop embroidery is based on the cover of the book.
