Book 2 is about Maggie Newcomb, the "tomboy" of the family, who finds herself growing into a woman who cares deeply for a man. The problem she is having is which man does she truly love; Colby, who she has always had a crush on, or Evan, who has come back into town as a lawyer. I liked Maggie and enjoyed watching her struggle to take on quilting and to take her Grandma's advice and spend time with and get to know the man before deciding who you really love. ( )

When it comes to quilting, Maggie Newcomb is all thumbs. And nobody rubs it in more than Emma Jean Stoddard. But Maggie swallows her ire for one simple reason: she has a crush on Emma Jean's handsome son, Colby, and doesn't want to ruin her chances. So she works hard to become the best quilter in Maintown.
Her plan seems to be working...until Tamara Brennan comes to town. Tamara is wealthy, poised, and beautiful. Several of the local boys are immediately smitten with her, including Colby Stoddard. Desperate to keep Colby's attention, Maggie devises an elaborate plan with her friend Evan. But her scheme brings unexpected consequences, and before long Maggie isn't sure what her heart truly desires.
