The Signature Quilt

Some names are carried in thread. Some are cut out of it.

When a spring flood tears through the mountain town of Cedar Hollow and drowns the old chapel's storeroom, Abby Vance and her circle of quilters turn out to rescue what a century of the town could never quite throw away. What they haul from the mud is a treasure: a hidden signature quilt, pieced generations ago by every family in Cedar Hollow, each block signed in floss by the hand that made it.

But one block is wrong. Where a name should be, there is only a spray of tiny needle holes - a name someone unpicked, one strand at a time, before wrapping the whole quilt in oilcloth and hiding it where no one would ever look.

Cedar Hollow keeps its secrets close, and this one has been kept for seventy years. As Abby and the Cedar Hollow Quilters follow the thread, they uncover a buried injustice stitched into the town's proudest story - and the quiet, stubborn courage of one woman who left a clue in the cloth and prayed that someday, someone brave enough would find it.

To make a wronged name right, they'll have to pull a thread the whole town would rather leave alone.

The Signature Quilt is the second Cedar Hollow Quilters Mystery - a warm, richly stitched tale of small-town secrets, old wrongs, and the women who refuse to let a good name stay lost. Perfect for readers who love cozy mysteries with heart, history, and a community worth coming home to.
