That evening, Molly sat in the basement of the church with The Hemming Hens. She had been a founding member of this sewing circle, and it served as a lovely distraction. She and the other ladies brought whatever project they were working on as well as a snack to share, and they spent the evening talking about everything under the sun. Their meeting place was a large room with wooden paneling that the church used for holiday dinners and other gatherings. It wasn’t nearly as pretty as the large sanctuary upstairs, but it certainly served its purpose.

“Have you heard about that new grocery store they’re building on the edge of town?” Rose Highwater asked over her needlepoint. “I sure hope it doesn’t put Tilly out of business.”

Tilly’s Store was the place everyone in Calmhaven went for their essentials. Alongside the milk, bread, and eggs, could be found all sorts of strange and wonderful things that Tilly herself curated. She liked to bring something new to their tiny town.

“I don’t think it will,” replied Maude Jessup as she pieced together two tiny triangles for her latest quilt. “Everyone goes to Tilly, and I’m sure they still will when they want to make a small trip. Can’t beat Tilly’s tales either!” Tilly was well known in the town more for her slices of gossip than for her slices of ham or cheese.

Sandra Florington, who kept her hair carefully dyed so that she didn’t quite look her age, gave a boastful look over her glasses. “My grandson has already been interviewed for a job at that new store, and he said they’ll have a curbside pickup service.”

“How does that work?” asked Joyce Treehorn, who had been knitting a rather long sock. “My knees have been killing me lately, and it’s getting harder and harder to make a trip through the store.”

“Haven’t you gotten those fixed yet?” Rose shook her finger at Joyce. “You know, there’s an excellent orthopedic surgeon over in Oak Bridge. He had my brother up and on his feet again in no time.”

Molly worked absentmindedly on her stitching as she listened to the conversation all around her, not really paying attention. Her brain had locked onto the dress disaster and it refused to let go. She enjoyed her time cross stitching; it created beautiful pictures that she liked to give away as Christmas presents and it kept her mind off her busy office, but today she could only stare at the strands of embroidery floss.

Why would Michelle have a postcard from a different dressmaker? If she had just gotten engaged and was in the beginning stages of planning a wedding, then it would make plenty of sense. She might not have decided on a dress just yet and wanted to keep her options open. But the wedding was only a few days away. There was barely enough time to quickly alter a similar dress, much less pick out a completely new one from a different shop in a different town.
