Carol Dean Jones, a geriatric social worker, was born in Kentucky, USA and is currently living in the West Virginia foothills. She is the author of the popular Quilting Cozy series featuring Sarah Miller.
Book 5 in this fabulous cozy quilting mystery series, and while I have loved all the quilting covers, the quilt with Stitched Together has to be the most elaborate yet. All the characters have settled in now and Sarah, Charles and Sophie have a special place in my heart now. Now married, Charles and Sarah are honeymooning in Paris. Back home, Sarah is still finding her feet at Running Stitches, and Sarah is teaching an introduction to quilting for beginners. With reference to the cover quilt, Amelia and her husband lived in Japan, and with this we learn a lot about the culture, the tea houses and the kimono. Stitched Together is probably the most exciting of all the novels I have read in this series, you get a lot of story for your money. That said it is best to read in sequence just to get to know the characters and the back story. With all the adventure it's hard to remember that the residents are all in their older years. Sophie is brilliant. She too is finding love among the chaos and it's all very sweet and joyful. Even Martha, Sarah's daughter might have a love interest!! I cannot wait to read book 6. -- Tracy Shephard * Postcard Reviews *
