Book Description
As long as women have sewed, there have been boxes of scraps and recycled garments in their homes. The women of the Collins family have such a treasure box, which down through time is opened by: Bridgit, free as the wind on the Dakota prairie, who may have found love in the form of a sedate minister. Will making her own wedding dress prove to be her undoing?; Maggie, who suddenly finds herself alone in the world. Can she find healing for her broken heart in restoring a quilt for the new railroad stationmaster?; Leah, who struggles even to clothe her son during World War II. Should she trust the stranger who befriends her boy, in spite of rumors surrounding the man?; Colleen, who believes love has reentered her life - only to have her hopes dashed by scandal. Could the scrap book she assembles from bits of fabric help to piece her faith back together, as well? In the scrap box, each woman finds lessons passed on from her ancestors - vital bits of history, pieced together with love, bound by threads of faith.

Tess has taken some ribbing from her fellow officer, Logan, for her quilting hobby.

Then one afternoon Tess and Logan visit her aunt in the nursing home, and the woman acts agitated when Tess covers her with the story quilt. Aunt Susan is attempting to communicate a message to them about Tess's uncle. There's a story behind this quilt, they realize, one that may lead them to a serial killer. Will they have a chance to have a future together, or will the killer choose Tess for his next victim before they find him?
