— RT Book Reviews“An outstanding series of novels about a fascinating craft.”
— Booklist" I listened to this book and found it interesting. It sounds like one of several by this author but since I have not read any of the previous books I am not sure. The story is fairly predictable but entertaining. "
— Brenda, 2/16/2014" Such a beautiful story. Wrapped up so much details for each character. "
— Carissa, 2/15/2014" A pleasant enough story, easy on the mind. I will go back and read the first of this series, and perhaps more than that. "
— Nancy, 2/12/2014" Heart-warming story of friendship and love and lots of quilts! Enjoyable series. "
— Karen, 2/11/2014" Another Elm Creek Manor book. This one is about Sarah's daughter's wedding. "
— Toby, 2/1/2014" I'm not entirely sure how I felt about this book. On one hand I absolutely loved knowing how everyone's stories ended up. This book takes place when Sarah and Matt's twins are 25 so you get to see what happened to each of the characters in the 25 years since the last book takes place. But part of me absolutely hated knowing that some of the founding members had passed on (even though it was obvious that they would have in those 25 years due to their age throughout the series). I had a really hard time picturing the other founding members at their advanced ages too. I didn't want to think about them being old and retiring! I wanted everything to stay the same even though I liked knowing what all happened! There was also a lot of jumping around on the setting of the book. Some was present day, some was 25 years in the future, some was in between those times. A few other scenes gave more information about things that had happened with Sylvia's family around the Civil War time period. So a lot of loose ends were tied up but at the same time it was very bittersweet having things tied up. There were also a lot of recaps of things that happened in previous books, which was nice on one hand since it had been a while since I read the last one, but somewhat redundant. I did also find myself wanting more details about the stories that took place between now and 25 years from now instead of just the little glimpses into what happened. "
— Jodi, 1/28/2014" This was a strange book, starting 25 years on from the previous Aloha Quilt, and then jumping around in no particular order. It seemed to me that the author wanted to tie up some loose ends and this was the way to do it. Not my favourite Elm Creek book by a long way. "
— Mary, 1/24/2014" Really tried to reads this but found it mostly reminisences of previous books of the Elm Creek Quilters. Never was that much into this series. "
— Agnes, 1/16/2014" Liked the ending...but wasn't too thrilled with the rest of the book. Too much playing catch up and jumping all around to tie up loose ends. Would have preferred a new story rather than a recap. "
— Sasha, 1/13/2014" What happened to all of the wonderful characters? 20 years has passed and many that you have come love are now deceased. Really? This is not the way to wrap up a series (presuming that is what the author was doing). "
— Susanne, 1/10/2014" I wonder if this is the last of the series? If not it is getting just to tedious to read synoposis of each of her other books, I suppose to fill in new readers? There was so much not new in this book and they seem to getting too trite. "
