Run, don't walk, to buy Ties That Bind!
I'm so excited to be part of this blog tour today! Before reading this book, I had never read any of Marie Bostwick's books. I was a little leery of jumping into the middle of a series, but it was as if this book stood alone. This is one of those great books where the characters become your close friends. I would love to call up the main characters and see what they're up to now. Do you know what I mean?
Here's a synopsis:
Christmas is fast approaching, and New Bern, Connecticut, is about to receive the gift of a new pastor, hired sight unseen to fill in while Reverend Tucker is on sabbatical. Meanwhile, Margot Matthews' friend, Abigail, is trying to match-make even though Margot has all but given up on romance. She loves her job at the Cobbled Court Quilt Shop and the life and friendships she's made in New Bern; she just never thought she'd still be single on her fortieth birthday.
It's a shock to the entire town when Phillip A. Clarkson turns out to be Philippa. Truth be told, not everyone is happy about having a female pastor. Yet despite a rocky start, Philippa begins to settle in—finding ways to ease the townspeople's burdens, joining the quilting circle, and forging a fast friendship with Margot. When tragedy threatens to tear Margot's family apart, that bond—and the help of her quilting sisterhood—will prove a saving grace. And as she untangles her feelings for another new arrival in town, Margot begins to realize that it is the surprising detours woven into life's fabric that provide its richest hues and deepest meaning…

I'm thrilled to have a chance to win in your give-away! I love your new fabric design!! I am in awe of those who can design fabric. How on earth do you do it? It looks so complicated! For those of us who remember how few our choices were back in the 70's and even 80's when it came to fabric,Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!
