    " I missed reading this one in the series so I finally got around to reading it. I love the series and enjoyed the book but always better to read in order. "

    " I liked it. The book continues the story of Sylvia, this time as she tries to locate her mother's quilts. As the quilts were sold off by her sster, this involves internet research and travel. Her mother's story is interspersed with Sylvia's quest, which is nice, but the reader learns Eleanor's story, Sylvia doesn't. I wish the author had worked it so that Sylvia learned her mother's history, because that knowledge is something she craves. Overall, I enjoyed it: not quite as much as the others, but it was still good. "

    " Chiaverini has a good style and is a good story teller. I liked the alternating stories of the main character Sylvia and her mother and aunt's stories as a way to tell the stories of the quilts. Another in the on going series worth the read. "

    " i really enjoy this series. This book delves more into the Bergstrom family history. What is best about Jennifer's storytelling is that they aren't heavy but feel good quick reads. Sometimes thats all I need! "

    " The more books I read of this series, the more I like them. I really liked this novel. It tells two different stories, going back & forth - gives more detail to the Bergstrom family of the past. "

    " I really didn't enjoy this. I thought I felt like something a bit lighter for a change but this was just banal! The most interesting part was the flashbacks to the mother's history. I think my grandmother would really enjoy the series, though so I'll track down the first book for her for Christmas. "

    " I've read others in the series and I liked them, but I got bored with this one. Maybe I'm over these books, but it came off too simplistic and not very interesting. Let's just say I skimmed a lot. "

    " This story covers Silvia's mother's life story as well as the current happenings of Silvia and the women of Elmcreek Quilts... I loved the mother's story, but found the current story a bit dry. Still love the series though! "
