Business is slow at Always in Stitches. Caroline, Nan and Aggie learn about a civil war encampment outside of Buckeye Grove. They are invited and accept the offer to join the encampment quilters to sell their children's quilting kits. The children love the kits and the bottom line of the shop improves while the women are selling them at the encampment. At the encampment they meet the charming Kenny, who dates several single women, causing himself no small amount of trouble. Caroline is struggling with several family problems. Not the least of these is Charles has left home and is living in his new Porsche, because he has nowhere else to sleep. Among the other folks that our quilter's meet are, sharp-shooter alias Annie Oakley, Melissa and Clarissa, (identical twins who travel with the encampment and teach) and members of the Buckeye Grove Police Department.
