Quilts Make a Family

By: Arlene Sachitano

It seemed like a simple project—make quilts for foster kids getting close to aging out of the system and teach them some useful skills as well. Granted, the foster parents aren’t the most pleasant people, but Luke and Sincere and the others have already had tough lives and say they can handle it. Things get complicated, though, when a reality-TV show gets permission to film the kids and track down their relatives. Foster parent Paul Holloway is murdered, and the “relatives” the TV crew introduces are more than odd. Then, when the producer’s assistant is killed, too, it’s clear there’s some deadly going on—and the kids are the targets.

The Quilt Before the Storm

By: Arlene Sachitano

A storm is bearing down on Foggy Point, Washington, promising strong winds, flooding and power outages. Harriet Truman and the Loose Threads quilt group are sewing flannel rag quilts and making plastic tarps from grocery bags for the denizens of a local homeless camp. Then one of the homeless men is strangled, and a few days later a second man is also murdered. Were they victims of a serial killer, or of someone closer to home? With the detectives of the Foggy Point Police department trapped on the wrong side of a rock slide that isolates the community, and dead bodies at the homeless camp, it’s up to Harriet and the Threads to figure out who is killing people and why—before they become the next victims.

Make Quilts Not War

By: Arlene Sachitano

It’s wintertime in Foggy Point, Washington, and tourists are as scarce as gold-plated thimbles at a thrift store. The denizens of the town decide that a colorful 1960s-themed festival is just the event to bring people out and get them moving and, hopefully, spending their money in the community. Clad in bellbottom jeans, granny dresses and afro wigs, the Loose Threads quilt group is excited to participate in the associated quilt display. All, that is, except Jenny Logan, the only member who has an authentic quilt from that era. Reluctantly, she agrees to display and talk about her quilt. A costumed participant is shot in front of Jenny’s quilt. Coincidence? Or is the quilt’s past endangering its owner’s future?

By: Arlene Sachitano

A Harriet Truman/Loose Threads Mystery (#10) What could possibly go wrong at an appliqué conference? If you’re Harriet Truman and the Loose Threads, just about anything.

Quilter's Knot

By: Arlene Sachitano

A week at a well-known crafters’ haven sounds like just the ticket when Harriet Truman’s friend Lauren invites the Loose Threads to join her there. That’s just what it is—at first. Then Harriet’s aunt Beth says a quilt attributed to the program’s owner is identical to one she saw on a recent trip to Europe, and Lauren doesn’t hesitate to accuse Selestina Bainbridge of plagiarism. Then Selestina collapses, dead of poison, and the tranquility of the school-cum-resort explodes in a flurry of death and danger.
