The Patchwork Mysteries series is published by Guideposts and follows Sarah Hart, a quilter who has a habit of stumbling into small-town mysteries. Set in a New England community, the books pair cozy mystery plots with details about quilting history, design, and construction. Several authors contributed to the series, including Kristin Eckhardt, Camy Tang, and Cara Putman, but the books maintain a consistent tone and setting throughout all 52 entries.

Each novel typically centers on a quilt or fabric-related clue that ties into the larger mystery. Along the way, readers encounter stories connected to the Civil Rights Movement, World War II, the Underground Railroad, and local history. The series began with Family Patterns in 2010 and ran through 2018, with alternating volumes also incorporating a tearoom subplot. Fans of faith-based cozy mysteries and quilting will find a long, satisfying reading list here.
