About 6 months ago I found a book called The Wedding Ring and LOVED it. I read it in 3 days. Well the other day I was at the book store searching for something that grabbed me, I found a book called Lovers Knot. Well It has a picture of a beautiful quilt on the front so it obviously was for ME! lol. It is by the same Author of the Wedding Ring!! Turns out there is a whole series of these well only 4 as of right now but still! They are a little romance with a little peak of history into this "fake" town and lives of people. I loved it and got totally lost in it. I give it a 10!!! I totally recomend it.

Definitely great reads. I love the characters and the settings. I always hate to see them end! Have not finished the last Elm Creek book yet, but I will soon. |

Emilie Richards is great! Just thought you might like another author who writes about quilting, she's Jennifer Chiaverini, and she has a 10-book series called Elm Creek Quilts. Give her a try, after you've read all the Emilie Richards quilting series!
Do you like knitting? Debbie Macomber has a series, The Shop on Blossom Street, and A Good Yarn, that you'd probably like, too.

So enjoyed reading both The Wedding Ring and The Endless Chain. I realized why the Wedding Ring sounded familiar, I had read it before and really enjoyed it, reading it again was just as good. I like both the books, the just dealt with different issues. Looking forward to the 3rd one.
Thanks for recommending it.

I thought they were both very good books, even though they were different. I am reading the other two sometime during the fall since I am reading GONE WITH THE WIND right now. |

REally, I liked them about equally..just very different stories..Lover's knot is another whole different thing too..but I like them all.
Jayne..found your address AND the book..will send it off tomorrow..no mail service today.

YOu know what, Jayne...I meant to send you Endless Chain...if you still havn't read it I will locate it and send it to you soon. I am going through my bookshelves this week while re-doing my bedroom..where most of my books live...and would love to send it off to you. I had to check out Lover's knot from the library. If you still want to read Endless chain..email me your address and I will do that.
I havn't seen the workbook to go with the Elm creek books in person yet, either..but sure loved the books!! I did get the workbook to go with the Earlene Fowler books (quilt mysteries..loved them too!!)

Oh, I loved this author too, after the lovely Aunt Jenny sent me the first one in the series! I still haven't seen them here in Oz and certainly haven't seen the workbooks - they sound great! The other series I love is the Elm Creek series and I think there is a quilting book to go with them too. Has anyone seen it? Did they think it was good?
Best wishes and happy reading (and quilting!),

I just got the workbook for Wedding Ring today!! I was so excited to see it at my quilt shop!! She has everything there though, so I guess I should not be too surprised (it's an awesome shop owned by a local woman who loves our town). I am almost done reading Endless Chain, which is wonderful. Will have to run out to get the next book in the series next week. I am on VACATION for the summer now. Will do a little tutoring and will landscape with my dh when he needs me, but nothing pressing, no time restraints...my own time!! YAY! |

I have seen the workbooks (companions) at books stores like Barnes and Nobel and Borders, as well as at quilt shops. |

I love them too!! Can't wait to read the latest one...Touching Stars. The first three I read were all wonderful!
