Loved the story. Chiaverini is very good at writing heartwarming stories that are well organized, easy to read, and simply enjoyable. As a quilter and a nostalgic, I particularly enjoyed the parallels she drew between the various quilt block patterns and life events of the characters in her story. I look forward to my next read about the Elm Creek Quilters. A pleasurable escape for me for sure.
Enjoyed the story of how quilting is passed down from one friend, or family member, to another. Sweet, light read. I like almost any book about quilting and/or needlework.
OMG... I love these stories!
Good series.
I was surprised how much I enjoyed the book. I read it only because of my interest in quilting. I usually read sci-fi, fantasy, or romance novels. It was well written and the characters grabbed my attention and my heart. I enjoyed it so much I went out and bought the first 6 books in the series.
Really enjoyed this book - I wasnt sure if I would but it turned out real good!
