Hi all-

I'm trying find books where crafts, such as decoupage, cross-stitch, quilting,
scrapbooking, etc., is a main point in the story. The reason I'm doing this
is because a readers group I belong to is building a basket for a fundraising
raffle around this theme, but I'd be happy to compile a list (which I'd
probably include in the basket, too <G>). This is a romance readers group, so
romance would be preferred, but many in the group are multi-genre readers.

Thanks!

I know there are a whole raft of books with quilting in them, and I've seen
RA and other web pages that focus on these. Maybe someone else on the list
will remember where they were. Molly, do you have links to any of them at
Waterboro?

Monica Ferris' "Needlecraft Mysteries" are about a woman who inherited
a needlecraft shop. She not only has customers and staff who do
needlework but is learning various needlecrafts herself.

Monica Ferris' Needlecraft Mysteries starting with Crewel World include counted cross-stitch patterns in each book. So far, there's always been a tie-in twixt pattern and plot.

Earlene Fowler's Benni Harper series is wonderful. There's a little romance

I must venture away from fiction to put in a good word for a wonderful book
about quilting: QUILTING LESSONS: NOTES FROM THE SCRAP BAG OF A WRITER
AND QUILTER, by Janet Catherine Berlo. Dr. Berlo is a professor and
scholar who developed a severe writer's block and who quilted her way out
of it.
