Ogden Quilting Novel by Salt Lake City Lawyer Hits No. 5 on NYT List
A debut novel about an Ogden quilting group that welcomes two gay men ahead of its biggest competition of the year has climbed to No. 5 on the New York Times paperback bestseller list, turning a Salt Lake City lawyer and humor columnist into the unlikely face of a publishing surprise. Eli McCann, 42, wrote “Stitched” after spending years watching his mother’s quilting circle from the sidelines, and the book has now sold nearly 38,000 print copies and gone through three printings.
