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.

Would you consider the audio edition of Stitches in Time to be better than the print version?

Honestly, no. The print version is a wonderful book which you can read without distractions. I found that this narrator often made character choices that differed with my vision of the characters so occasionally I found myself taken out of the story.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

It's a great story with just enough supernatural creepiness and dashes of romance and humor.

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

It matched the pace well, I just had a problem with some of the voices used by the narrator.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No, but it definitely kept me interested.

Barbara Rosenblatt does an awesome job with this story. She brings out the mystery, the comedic moments, and the suspense in a very pleasing narration. The story itself is very believable. Barbara Michaels always wrote exemplary suspense mysteries.

I first read this book in 1998 when published. I really enjoyed the engaging story and characters. I especially enjoyed Adam although until listening to the story on Audible, I hadn’t known why. Adam is oh so similar to my own man in so many ways! But the story itself is wonderful, leading the reader between modern Virginia, women in their own business, historical details of women’s life during the Civil War, murder, mystery, anthropology, and discovery of one’s self and strength. Enjoy. Listen to this story multiple times, and smile at the ending, both happy and poignant.
