This quilt’s story:  I love to read “whimsical” murder mysteries, and this book is the first in a series that I particularly enjoy.  In addition to the mystery aspect, the heroine of the stories is a caterer, living in Colorado, and the author includes recipes for some of the food that is created during the story.  My son, and I have tried several of the recipes and found them delicious!  I chose to recreate the book cover art for my quilt.
