Another author that I like, that always mentions quilting, is Sandra Dallas.
But do NOT start with Buster Midnights Cafe. I am afraid if you read that you will not like her. It is ok to read it after you learn to love her books.
Persian Pickle Club (they called Paisley pattern that in the 30's), Alices tulips, Diary of Maddie Spenser, and New Mercies are all great.
Her books are all stand alone, no reading in order necessary.
