Nell Fitzgerald receives a stunning lover’s knot quilt as an engagement gift from her grandmother Eleanor when she plans a wedding in New York City.

She moves to Archers Rest, the quiet town where Eleanor runs Someday Quilts and hosts a cozy quilting circle. When a local handyman known for his flirting is found dead in the shop, murdered with quilting scissors, Nell is drawn into the investigation. The pattern of clues points to several suspects, including Andrew’s sudden arrival in town. As the quilting circle pieces their fabrics together, Nell must also piece together the evidence to solve the crime before another stitch of danger is sewn.
