I recieved this book for Christmas, from my DC, (ddmash.)
I am enjoying reading it. It is about quilting, and the peoples lives, and what brings them together.
Has anyone else read this?

Kay,
I got mine online through Barnes and Noble. The first 6 books are in 2 books as they come 3 in 1 and were only around $14. I have the member card there, $25 a year but get that back in savings. The books often are cheaper online and with any $25 order it is free shipping. I live 60 miles from any book store so this is my way of shopping, plus as I said usually cheaper.

I have 3 of the books and need to get the others, but can't seem to find them here. I hate ordering anything online asI just don't trust it. But from what I've seen, I will enjoy all of these books.

Thanks for the tip, Rae. I am now waiting on The Quilter's Apprentice at my local library. There's 5 in line ahead of me. Now that is the first one, right?

Lets see I just finished # 11 I think. Can't remember what it was called though.
It was pretty good. Okay I finished it in one night :)

I really enjoyed it as I wondered what had happened to her once the slave traders had taken her. I was already curious after the book that introduced her

I just finished the newest book too, "The Lost Quilter". It turned out to be pretty good, though I did get tired of it and set it down for a few days. Once I started reading it again, I couldn't put it down. I'll be curious to hear what others think of this book.

I love these books. I went to a quilt retreat last fall and many of the women had read these too.

They do jump around but it makes sense in a way, being introduced to the character and then goes back for more detail. I started #8 last night and finish series and then go on to a different book. I think some Amish stories were next on my list :-)

We have been reading those books in order as well. Though it seems kind of funny, cause they really don't seem to be in order??? We are taking a break from quilting books right now. Will get back to them though. we read through number 10.

I am half way through #7!!! Number 6 was a bit confusing the way it was written at first I thought but once I got through it, it all made sense.

Wow Rae, you do have it bad! I'm trying to ignore the one I'm reading right now so I can get the house cleaning done and go outside. It is a beautiful & sunny day, so I need to get out there and work!

Keep reading & enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!

You are all right, I can't put the book down. I come to work and bring it so I can read during my lunch break and can't wait to get home and read again!!! Thank you for suggesting it!!

I think you'll really enjoy that book Michele. I read it in a day! Like "Windy Pines" Michele, I find these books impossible to put down!
