Monica Ferris has a series (at least 12) of books that follow the owner of a shop called Crewel World in her amateur detective pursuits. I love the titles: Crewel Yule, Knitting Bones, Thai Die, Sins and Needles, Embroidered Truths, Sew Far So Good. Most if not all can be found on audio.
Emilie Richards also has a series that all have quilts in starring roles in them, most have pattern books, and most, if not all, are on audio. Titles include: Lover’s Knot, Sister’s Choice, Touching Stars, Endless Chain.
Debbie Macomber has a series where knitting is the center of attention. All are available on audio. Titles include: A Good Yarn, Summer on Blossom Street, Back on Blossom Street.
These are also quilt focused novels:
Leaving Riverton (The Novel) by Jodi Barrows (pattern book available) (cannot find the novel on audio)
Bachelor’s Puzzle by Judith Pella (audio available)
A Single Thread by Marie Bostwick (cannot find on audio)
There are several other novels that focus on needlecrafts other than quilting if you are interested (I can list more if you are). The best site to find out if a book is available on audio is this one.
