Quilting, rivalry, and unexpected community

Competitive quilting gives this ensemble story a clear source of conflict: the Ogden Quilters Association has a major contest ahead and a long-standing rival to beat. The group’s decision to welcome two young gay men brings questions of belonging and friendship into the competition, while Betty Lou Dearden’s more than twenty years with the association anchors the story in its established community. The setup combines a shared creative project with intergenerational connections and the frictions that can accompany close-knit friendships.

Book overview

THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER


"One part Golden Girls, one part Schitt's Creek, and a whole lot of Eli McCann's signature wit and charm."
--CAL CROSBY, The King's English Bookshop


A hilarious, heartwarming story about competitive quilting, unlikely friendships, and found family.

Betty Lou Dearden has been a member of the Ogden Quilters Association for more than twenty years when it is announced that the biggest quilting competition in the country is coming to Utah. With the clock ticking and a chance to finally beat their long-time rival quilting circle, the women welcome two young gay men to their group as they bicker their way to an award-worthy entry. With disarming humor and extraordinary heart, Eli McCann takes readers deep into the cozy but cutthroat world of competitive quilting and the sometimes-messy friendships that shape our lives.
