  🧵 Quilt shop owner and master quilter Betsy Binder is hosting her weekly quilting bee when their most competitive member—a perfectionist quilter known for her flawless stitches—is found dead in the shop's back room, pinned beneath a heavy quilting frame with a poisoned quilting needle clutched in her hand. The police suspect a tragic accident, but Betsy notices the quilt block they were collectively stitching contains a hidden message in the color placement and the victim's thimble holds a microSD card. With her quilting bee shattered by suspicion and the shop's reputation in tatters, Betsy must piece together an investigation as intricate as a double wedding ring pattern. Assisted by her loyal quilting friends and the handsome textile historian documenting their community quilt project, Betsy uncovers a scheme involving stolen antique quilts, forged quilt appraisals, and a lucrative black market for historic textiles. From suspicious batting materials that reveal modern substitutions to stitching patterns that don't match the quilter's known style, every patch tells a story. But when Betsy discovers the victim was blackmailing fellow quilters about their family secrets hidden in signature quilts, she realizes the killer is protecting a legacy more precious than any heirloom. With the annual quilt show approaching and the real culprit still stitching lies, Betsy must baste together the truth before her own quilt gets permanently bound off.

  Mysteries Of Atlantis

  This classic work, written by Theosophist, W. Scott-Elliot, this book goes into detail about the lost city of Atlantis. The information came from C. W. Leadbeater, who said he received his information from astral clairvoyance. Scott-Elliot provides info on the people of Atlantis, such as their religion, races, different periods money, education, and much more. 
   
  Atlantis, is a legendary island in the Atlantic Ocean, lying west of the Strait of Gibraltar. The principal sources for the legend are two of Plato’s dialogues, Timaeus and Critias. In the former, Plato describes how Egyptian priests, in conversation with the Athenian lawgiver Solon, described Atlantis as an island larger than Asia Minor and Libya combined and situated just beyond the Pillars of Hercules (the Strait of Gibraltar). About 9,000 years before the birth of Solon, the priests said, Atlantis was a rich island whose powerful princes conquered many of the lands of the Mediterranean until they were finally defeated by the Athenians and the latter’s allies. The Atlantians eventually became wicked and impious, and their island was swallowed up by the sea as a result of earthquakes. In the Critias, Plato supplied a history of the ideal commonwealth of the Atlantians. 
   
  Medieval European writers who received the tale from Arab geographers believed the stories to be true, and later writers tried to identify it with an actual country. After the Renaissance, for example, attempts were made to identify Atlantis with America, Scandinavia, and the Canary Islands. The story of Atlantis, if Plato did not invent it, may in fact reflect ancient Egyptian records of a volcanic eruption on the island of Thera about 1500 BCE. This eruption, one of the most stupendous of historical times, was accompanied by a series of earthquakes and tsunamis that shattered civilization on Crete, thereby perhaps giving rise to the legend of Atlantis.
