The Quilter's Homecoming: Elm Creek Quilts, Book 10 Audiobook

" I really enjoyed this elms creek book. It had a little bit of a slow start, but then there was mystery and romance. This is probably one of my favorites fom her. "

" #10 in the Elm Creek Quilts series. This is cousin Elizabeth's story. When she arrives in California things don't turn out as she and her husband had planned but things eventually work out. "

" Sylvia's cousin Elizabeth marries Henry, an Elm Creek neighbor, and they go off to California to ranch cattle. Henry has spent his life savings to purchase Triumph Ranch. However, when they arrive they find the sale was a swindle and they have nothing. They are hired as hands and given a small cabin without running water to live in. Elizabeth works on two quilts she finds in the cabin, and meets Rosa, a young woman whose grandmother used to live in the cabin. As with all Elm Creek books, there are trials and tribulations, but all ends well. "

" As the second star says, "It was ok." It was readable but hyper-predictable and the main character is annoyingly pretty/kind/sensible/fun/upstanding/generous/optimistic/hardworking/resourceful/loyal/spunky/did I say pretty? "

" The book seemed a little drawn out, but was enjoyable. Then end was great. So it was worth it. "

" Charming story - not just for quilt lovers but very predictable. "

" Good book--very interesting story--intriguing-- didn't want to put down--a lot of misfortunes--but good ending "

" New characters to fall in love with. This one was a little harder to enjoy, because Elizabeth gave up just a little too much. "

" Not great literature, but a sweet audio-book. "

" Ok writing...kind of slow but liked the historical aspects of it. "

" Finally we catch a glimpse of Elizabeth's life after she and Henry left Elm Creek. "

" I thought this was a nice, quick read. It was okay, and it had a good message, but I don't think I would read any other books in the series. "

" One in a series of heart-warming novels about a group of women and their families. The heart of the stories is Elm Creek Manor and the Bergstrom family - quilts, horses, friendships, adventures, heartaches, mysteries. Very well written. "

" Two weeks after reading this I couldn't remember the name of the book or what it was about. The book was predictable and the characters were pretty lame. I had come to expect more from Jennifer Chiaverini. "

" Perhaps the earlier books in the series were better, but these read like a bunch of historical and quilting research with a little bit of plot hung around them... "

" Just love Jennifer Chiaverini books. They are always so much fun to read. The characters come to life as you read. Reading her books gave me the idea to start to quilt. This is the third book I have read. "

" This book does have a mostly new plot and was interesting. She still doesn't always have things turn out the way I want them too, but then I do like story book endings. "

" I listened to the audiobook. This is the perfect book for the car and anyone who is a quilter. It remains a mystery to me why I can't stand Karon's books but will happily read anything about the Elm Creek quilters. "

" These are really good books about friendships, quilting, love & forgiveness. "

" Nothing life-changing or even too thought-provoking about this book. It was just an easy read I picked up off the library shelf on a whim. I appreciate simple stories with neatly stitched-up endings on occasion. "

" Love this author, who is also a quilter. She writes about the activities/history of the members of a quilting group. Book-on-CD. "

" An enjoyable book about life not turning out how you think it might, but finding the resources within yourself to live it fully anyways. It was fun to read what happened on the other side of Chiaverini's Sonoma Rose. "

" I have read most of Jennifer Chiaverini's books. I like them all. This is one of my very favorites. "

" The title is misleading - don't think this is all about quilting, b/c it's anything but! It's actually a good story. "

" I love the history that is woven into this series. Great story. "

" I thoroughly enjoy this series. As a quilter I think they are even more engaging. They are easy to read and well written. Someday I may make a few of the quilts. :) "

" A sweet story and enjoyable. "

" Not my favorite by this author but was a good read. Will be reading more of her series. "

" The story or Sylvia's cousin, Elizabeth and the journey that takes her and her new husband, Henry Nelson, to California. Also explains why Sylvia never heard from Elizabeth after she left for California. "

" I enjoyed this book, although some of the middle part was a bit depressing. Happy ending, though, so that made up for the middle. I love the quilting theme. It inspires me to want to do some quilting again. It has been too long since my last one. "

" New characters to fall in love with. This one was a little harder to enjoy, because Elizabeth gave up just a little too much. "

" Read it, but can't remember much about it. . .that says it all. "

" Let's take a trip to 1920's California. A very realistic look into what can really happen to newlyweds. Also highlights some very real topics and issues such as domestic violence. I just wish the last few chapters were a bit extended. "

" As the second star says, "It was ok." It was readable but hyper-predictable and the main character is annoyingly pretty/kind/sensible/fun/upstanding/generous/optimistic/hardworking/resourceful/loyal/spunky/did I say pretty? "

" These are really good books about friendships, quilting, love & forgiveness. "

" Sad but in the end satisfying story of hopes and dreams Dashed, abused then reformulated and pursued again. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would from the begining. It did get better later on. "

" Two weeks after reading this I couldn't remember the name of the book or what it was about. The book was predictable and the characters were pretty lame. I had come to expect more from Jennifer Chiaverini. "

" Hey, I read these like popcorn! "

" I loved this book. Interesting historical facts mixed with light mystery and romance. I was worried about the "quilting" topic, but it worked for me. "
