Enjoy!
Thank you Wistroll for this book from my wishlist!
I was looking forward to a book about quilting and friendships between women. I didn't know there would be a murder mystery involved so this book was even more than I had hoped for. Good "brain candy".
I'm mailing this off to TaylorHarrogate as part of a trade.
Received from JenLuvsBooks -- Thanks!
Dear Fellow Reader,
Congratulations and welcome! You’ve just found a new book and a whole community of generous and interesting folks to go with it.
I enjoyed reading this book, and it was fun to know who had it before me. I hope you enjoy it too. Do leave a note here so that we know the book is safe with you. You can be anonymous if you like, or you can choose a bookcrossing name and become a member. In either case, your email address will be confidential.
The book reminded me of Fannie Flagg’s novels, but it turned out to be intricate and interesting in a way I wasn’t expecting. When I was done, I turned back to the beginning to read it again to see how all the pieces fit together.

Releasing as an anonymous gift.
My husband found this book waiting for him in his work mailbox. I've read it and now I'm releasing it! My boys and I are running some errands today, and I plan to leave it somewhere along the way. I enjoyed this book for several reasons. When my husband brought it home, I was just starting a quilt block for my niece's baby quilt. By tradition, my sisters-in-law, mother-in-law, and I make a quilt for the new baby in the family. We don''t get to quilt together as the women in this book do, as we all live quite a distance from each other. Once we finish our blocks, we mail them to my mother-in-law. She finishes off the quilt. It's always fun to see the finished product! Also, this book reminded me a lot of my Grandma. She was a young, Kansas farmwife back in the 1930s. She was known for her sewing, cooking, and gardening. After she died two years ago, I was given the diary she kept back when she was still dating my grandpa. It describes her life--how she helped her mother by taking in sewing. She worked as a nanny in a nearby town and took the bus home every weekend to see my grandpa. After she got married, her diary entries became fewer. Still, her diary was a wonderful glimpse into her life as a young woman. I can easily imagine her as a character in this book. The quiet pride she took in her sewing, cooking, and housekeeping would have made her fit in perfectly in the Persian Pickle Club.
