Another quilt show in Door County for Claire and Cher. I just seem to have been wrapped up in their lives and the lives of the quilt club members. Just a soap opera in written word but a nice break from murder mysteries.

Being a quilter and dabbling in painting, I have enjoyed this relaxing series taking place in Door County Wisconsin. Because we spent several days in Fish Creek, WI last summer, I am familiar with the restaurants and places named in the book. So it's a relaxing fun read for me!

This is the 4th book in the series. I did seem to like this book better than the other 3. I think it was because there were several things going on that I wanted to see how or if they would be resolved (Grayson/Claire/Foster, the missing quilt, stupid Greta, Ava and her awful husband.) I read this one quite quickly because I wanted to see what was going to happen. Some things seemed to be resolved at the end of the book, but I sure hope there is a book 5 coming because I'm not ready to say good-bye to these characters. LOL

I love the setting of Door County, Wisconsin. I love the Cherry theme, since I’m very partial to cherries. I loved all the quilts, although I thought more of the story should have been about the quilts. I thought Claire was silly about Grayson. She turns down his proposal and then expects him to carry on like nothing happened. The ending was good but I was annoyed with Claire.
Thanks to Edelweiss and the publisher for the early read.

This is the 4th, and, I believe, final book in the Door County Quilt Series. I have enjoyed all of the books which had nice characters, some romance, descriptions of wonderful Door County, Wisconsin, including shops, restaurants, the art community and scenery. Claire, the main character throughout the series, is an art quilter and painter, an "old maid" in her 50's with a love interest, and a woman of faith. I look forward to reading more books by author Ann Hazelwood.

hurry up and wait.

I have read each of the books in this series and I must say I’m a bit disappointed in this one. It seemed like the entire book deals with Claire and Grayson and poof, problem solved.

I really tried. People in their 50s receiving proposals only to be ghosted by the guy when you don't give a resounding yes? After a while I got tired of some of the gamesmanship for people who should know better.

And the adventure continues. Good character development. There were a few inconsistencies. And altho Claire has little income and used her ‘dream fund’ to buy the cabin, she spends money and splurges like there’s no tomorrow. That won’t stop me from reading the 5th book. Here I go…

I enjoyed reading about people who quilt.

But I'm not sure I'll read too many more of her books. Another series by another author talks more about the actual process, and I found it more entertaining.

It was a fun read

[Kay · Rating 4 out of 5]

A happy book with drama. I wonder if there will be more in this series? Another quilt show, a storm, a break up and make up, the perfect light book to read while holiday stressed.

Living in Wisconsin I love Door County. One of my favorite places and I'm a quilter.

Another charming story set in Door County WIsconsin. Fun characters who are part of a quilting group. #4 in the series

[Pauline Stevens · Rating 5 out of 5]

Lovely, gentle story. Great for folk who love a good story-line, quilting and painting.

[Nancy McCourt · Rating 4 out of 5]

Pretty good story. Keeps you interested. But kind of amateurish writing. More like the writer is talking to a friend. Hardly any use of descriptive words.

[Ann · Rating 3 out of 5]

Set in Door County, Wisconsin this book focuses on quilts, art and romance and poor decisions that affect the main character and her friends but all comes out in the wash- a light read.
