"I love this series. In this book the Elm Creek Quilters are having to part ways and allow new comers into their tight circle. The Elm Creek Quilt series is well written and takes an in depth look at the life and relationships and the things that bond us together."
— Jessica (5 out of 5 stars)
“Chiaverini’s book is wonderful—a paean to the strength and beauty of sisterhood. It profiles four women who have been enriched and strengthened by the Elm Creek Quilters while also telling readers about the camp,the quilt group and a special pattern being used in a goodbye quilt. This definite must-read reminds you of the true value of girlfriends.
— RT Book Reviews (4½ stars)" The one that started it all for me and this author. Totally recommend her. Most are great! A few are okay. "
— Stephanie, 2/16/2014" This is a continuation of the "Elm Creek Quilters" series. Fictional, a fun read and good character development. The best part of this series is that you don't have to read them in order. "
— Amy, 2/11/2014" Easy and quick read, but not much substance. There were a couple of characters that were a bit less believable than they should have been, and certainly, the "main" character who was supposed to pull all the others together in the end was a complete unknown. There are apparently a series of Elm Creek Quilt novels, I'm not sure I'll be going out to look for any more. "
— Susabelle, 1/30/2014" An easy-going read for women, which focuses on the history and personality of each member of a quilting community, one by one. I listened to the recorded book while working on a tedious project, and enjoyed it. If I had tried to read it, I would probably have put it down and never picked it up again. "
— Laura, 1/13/2014" This series of books is sweet and simple. The perfect thing for a summer day by the pool! "
— Dawn, 1/12/2014" The author was able to weave several stories into one. I have read a couple of these quilt stories and like how the author refers back and forth to the characters in the novels. "
— Marcia, 1/9/2014" I found this book quite gripping and am looking forward to the introduction of new characters to replace old ones which I hope will give the stories a lift. Is it my imagination or has Jennifer become just a little stale? "
— Gill, 1/8/2014" It's amazing how much plat she gets into what seems to be a series of character sketches. I think I'll pull out my monster UFO (Unfinished Object) quilt this weekend. "
— Michelle, 1/6/2014" It was difficult to get into reading this book with the introduction of the new staff members stories. Once I began to read about the original characters, starting with Gwen, it became familiar and more enjoyable. "
— Nancy, 12/22/2013" I liked this but not as much as some of her others. "
— Janice, 12/16/2013" Just love the Elm Creek Quilt series. I don't quilt, but love them anyway! "
