The Mercy Quilt
When Savannah Mae returns from her honeymoon to start married life on the ranch, her mother Emma stays behind to open a quilt retreat in their historic Waxahachie home.
While preparing, Emma discovers a Grandmother’s Fan quilt stained with blood—evidence that it once comforted victims of an 1882 fire.
After Emma renovates the house with the help of charming contractor Jesse, her third retreat takes a dark turn when a guest is murdered.
With business unraveling and danger closing in, Emma and Jesse race to piece together clues—from attic relics to ghostly whispers—before the killer silences Emma for good.
For full details, see the official rules.
Note: The sweepstakes is open to all legal residents of the 50 United States and Washington, DC who are 18 years of age and older by February 23, 2026.
