But Sofia, a 41-year-old mother of four, still struggles to thread a needle in less than ten tries and limits her sewing to buttons and patches. And yet Sofia's grandmother chose her.
Tales about the priceless quilt have been spun at every family gathering for as long as Sofia can remember. But no one ever mentioned the diary hidden within its folds, recorded by her great-grandmother in 1913. Rich with history, the words of the diary reveal the fascinating story behind each piece of the quilt's tapestry and the women whose lives it touched.
One story in particular catches Sofia's eye - the one that claims to know the true identity of the Mona Lisa. According to the diary, a swatch of her dress was stitched into the quilt. Sofia's ancestor Caterina Vasari, a talented seamstress, was said to be a friend of the famed model and knew why her true identity had been kept secret. The diary weaves a captivating tale of family secrets, opulent castles, clandestine romance, and a shocking mystery. But can it possibly be true? if so, it would mean the heirloom quilt is worth millions!
With a little help form her friends in the Pinot Painters art group, Sofia sets out to learn the truth. But it soon becomes clear that someone with ill intent is interested in her research and in getting their hands on the quilt. Will her grandmother's cryptic warning that danger is coming become a reality?”
