Synopsis

When an antique bridal quilt appears under mysterious circumstances at the vintage clothing shop where Rachel Grant works, she is fascinated. She has never been able to resist handmade textiles from the past, for she believes that through the ages, women wove protective magic into their fabrics in order to mark the important events of their lives: birth, marriage, and death. But there is more than good in the quilt's magic power. Day by day Rachel sees and feels the power growing, as she senses the quilt influencing her thoughts and actions. Much as Rachel's logical mind longs to deny the supernatural, the aura of evil coming from the quilt is terrifyingly real, and it seems to carry a sinister legacy into the lives of the people Rachel loves.

I read this book a long time ago. But the story has always stayed in my mind. When I think of a favorite book, it certainly is among the ones I preferred reading.......more

Goodreads review by Hyzie on August 03, 2023

While the previous book in the "trilogy" stood alone just fine, this one really requires you to read it after Ammie, Come Home and Shattered Silk to not spoil the story lines of both of those novels. Thus: Spoilers for the previous books in the series will follow. This was a decent read. It was mor......more

Goodreads review by Lynn on January 22, 2021

Every now and then I like to pull out one of my Barbara Michaels novels for a reread. Many of them stand up well, but this one did...not. Stitches in Time is third in a trilogy that includes Ammie, Come Home and Shattered Silk, both of which are eerie reads that I enjoyed. The leads from those two bo......more

Goodreads review by Lara on November 26, 2023

This one always kind of creeped me out--I can handle ghosts just fine, but witchcraft/voodoo/dark magic type stuff really freaks me out for some reason. But I keep rereading it anyway, because Adam is just such an interesting character to me. He's big and quiet and has a beard and a child-like innoc......more
