— Cathy, 1/27/2014" I always enjoy books with strong, female characters and this book fits that criteria (for the most part). It shows how the bond of quilting can lead to great friendships and how important that is to life. "
— Ginger, 1/23/2014" This book is among the first books I bought ever. Haha. :) This is a very light and heartwarming book about women with their own hangups in life who met on a quilting club. It is a very sweet, romantic, and dramatic novel, delivered in a very easy way. :D "

— Cathy, 11/29/2013" I love this series because it points to the support that women can give to one another. I know that the women in my life can tell me just the right thing that I need to hear and are there for me, no matter how crazy I get. "
— Tara, 11/28/2013" Reading these books always makes me want to get out my quilting and finish projects that have been sitting idle for a while. I do enjoy listening to the adventures of the ladies at the quilt camp. It makes me want to join a camp myself. "

— Milly, 8/25/2012" Story of five ladies who became friends after attending a quilting retreat. All came from different backgrounds, had different challenges in their lives, but quilting was their common bond. OK story, but a little boring at times and a bit tedious with the quilting details. "

— Becky, 2/17/2012" Following the lives of four quilters who meet at quilt camp, this book celebrates the strength of women and the friendships that stitch our lives together. Loved it! "
— Allison, 1/10/2012" I am enjoying Chiaverini's entire series of quilting/friendship books. I liked this book better than Book 2 because the characters were more fleshed out and the quilt was definitely the background rather than the foreground of the book. Good story - enjoyable. A nice vacation read. "
— Chris, 8/26/2011" Some quilt terms I haven't heard about, and a fun read. "
— C, 4/19/2011" I enjoyed this book very much! The characters introduced in the book became real as they continued with their lives away from the Elm Creek Quilt camp. Bringing them back together and keeping them connected with a quilt created a warm and interesting story. "
— Connie, 3/21/2011" Story of five ladies who became friends after attending a quilting retreat. All came from different backgrounds, had different challenges in their lives, but quilting was their common bond. OK story, but a little boring at times and a bit tedious with the quilting details. "
