Blog Tour & Giveaway: Death With All The Trimmings by Lucy Burdette

Blog Tour & Giveaway: Knot in My Backyard by Mary Marks
A diamond brocade pattern is more quilter Martha Rose’s style than a baseball diamond—especially when it comes to the new eyesore of a stadium ruining her lovely San Fernando Valley neighborhood.

Blog Tour & Giveaway: No Mallets Intended by Victoria Hamilton
