The author of the Agatha Award–winning Benni Harper series of western-flavored, folk art–infused mysteries, Earlene Fowler here presents patterns for a dozen quilts featured in her mysteries, from "With This Ring" in Fool's Puzzle to "Coming Storms" in Mariner's Compass. Cowritten with Margrit Hall, the book includes never-before-published Benni Harper short stories that fill in gaps from the novels—including Benni and Gabe's Las Vegas wedding—and illustrated notes on Fowler's inspirations.
"The patchwork quilt provides the guiding metaphor for Earlene Fowler's Benni Harper series and ... becomes the perfect emblem for a universal sisterhood where women's hearts are torn and tested, and unite to create a resonant story of complex patterns and hard-earned grace."—Jo-Ann Mapson
