Narrative In Favor Of Books Stitches in Time (Georgetown #3)
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.Rating Regarding Books Stitches in Time (Georgetown #3)

I havent read a Barbara Michaels book in a long time.Stitches in Time involves Rachel, s doctoral candidate, and Cheryl and her sister-in-law Kara who own a boutique selling vintage linens and designer clothing. Rachel ventured in to the boutique; as a budding anthropologist her thesis covered the use of needlework and hidden messages.There is a spirit involved in this story.

I grabbed this from the library to complete a reading challenge, not realizing it was the third in a series. It was a fast read about a cursed bridal quilt, belonging to a woman who lived over 150 years ago. The plot was interesting, but I would've liked to see a bit more follow through. I also didn't get a good grip on who the characters were and where the magical knowledge came from. I'm positive I would've enjoyed it more had I started with the first book. it ended up just being "okay."
