Description
Angie Curtis and her fellow Mainely Needlepointers know how to enjoy their holidays. But nothing grabs their attention like tying up loose threads. So when Mary Clough drops in on the group's Fourth of July supper with a question about an antique needlepoint she's discovered in her family attic, Angie and her ravelers are happy to look into the matter.
Angie's best guess is that the mystery piece may have been stitched by Mary, Queen of Scots, famous not just for losing her head, but also for her needlepointing. If Angie's right, the piece would be extremely valuable. For safekeeping, Angie turns the piece over to her family lawyer, who places it in a safe in her office. But when the lawyer is found dead with the safe open and ransacked, the real mystery begins. . .
Advance Praise
“This village cozy, populated with sympathetic characters and framed by details of the history of needlepoint as well as a smattering of English and French history, will appeal to fans of Kaitlyn Dunnett’s Liss MacCrimmon series, also set in Maine.”– Booklist

Wonderful book, I really enjoyed the history and intrigue about the embroidery and the sayings from old samplers at the beginning of each chapter.

It’s the Fourth of July in Haven Harbor, Maine and Angie Curtis and her needlepointing club are just sitting down to dinner when they get a visit from Mary Clough. Mary has found a rare piece of needlepoint in her attic and wants the opinion of the Mainely Needlepointers. Angie believes the piece may have actually been crafted by Mary Queen of Scots. If this is indeed the case, the piece is priceless, so Angie gives it to her lawyer for safekeeping, but when the lawyer is found dead and the needlepoint turns up missing, the ladies have one heck of a crime to solve. Based on a real legend about Lea’s house, this is a fun and fascinating mystery
