That's exactly what Bernie and Libby expect as they build the menu for the Longely Sip and Sew Quilting Circle's first-ever exhibition hosted at the local library. The eclectic ladies of the group couldn't appear more harmlessly wholesome if they tried, especially mild-mannered kindergarten teacher Cecilia Larson, who hired A Little of Taste of Heaven to cater the event. So it's a complete shock when disturbing news drops about member Ellen Fisher, found hanging from a plant hook in her otherwise pristine sewing room . . . \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAll are very quick to deem the tragic death a suicide. All except for Cecilia. She believes something else happened to her best friend--who was busy adding the finishing stitches on her greatest work yet in hopes of displaying it at the exhibition--and looks to Bernie and Libby to expose the truth . . . and the killer. As Ellen's patchy past comes into focus along with a mysterious connection to a missing seven-hundred-year-old quilt fragment, can the sisters unravel the victim's final thread before another turns up dead?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eIsis Crawford\u003c\/b\u003e was born in Egypt to parents who were in the diplomatic corps.
