I'm on my second book called Round Robin and I am finding them absolutely delightful.
My mom read them and gave them all to me. Now I'm even more *inspired* to get back to my quilting.
The first novel is The Quilters Apprentice. There's a whole series

I have read every one of those books and have ordered the new one that is soon to come out. Would'nt it be awesome to have a place like that to go too! Reading those books also makes you look at vintage quilts in a new light also, makes you wish they could talk and tell you their history :)

I really am enjoying the books. I'll be starting the third one soon, although I did join two online Book Challenges so I might have to hold off on the rest of them until June...hahaha
Nancy- I would LOVE to have a place like that as well. I was actually thinking of having one here at our small farm. I could offer a ONE week long (or 4 days) Quilt camp, say in early Autumn. I think it would be fantastic! Of course not right now...but in the not so distant future. A dream to look forward to :)
I've learned that if one is passionate and determined, one can accomplish almost anything!

Well I have started collecting all the books. I purchased the Elm Creek Quilts, by Jennifer Chiaverini. It has all the blocks from the books from her collections. I really enjoy her books.

Marcia that would be neat if you could! Ya'll will LOVE all of her books in the elm quilt series. You really get a hankering to quilt when you read them, I even LOVE her book covers! I display them here and there! I may try to get a set for my sewing booth! Hmmmm hadn't thought of that! Amazon usually sells them cheap.

I have read all of them. They are really good books. I would love to have a place like that for people to come and relax. They are very inspiring books. If I had a place like that though I would have to add horses so folks could trail ride if they wanted to. LOL

I've read them all but I don't think she's had one out in awhile. Oh, I see someone said she had a new one come out at Xmas.
Hug a horse or a dog today! |

The new book is coming out April 6th. It is called ~ The Aloha Quilt ~ I have it ordered :) Ya'll should check on amazon, that is where I got mine. You can buy the first 3 books in one for 7.30 plus 3.99 shipping and all the rest of her single books are even cheaper, I just bought one for the antique booth for 14 cents plus the 3.99 shipping! I'm like ya'll, I love the covers also! I like to use them for display at home and in the booth :)

I have read all of her books and loved them. Her latest comes out in a few days on the 6th.
She puts out 2 a year. She does a great job! I had the pleasure of hearing her speak on author night at our local library.
We had a beautiful day hear in northern Indiana at 80 degrees...fantastic!!!!
Have a Blessed Easter
Farmgirl forever,

I also thought of another book series that I think ya'll will really love, they are by Debbie Macomber and there are several books all related like the elm quilt series. The first is called (The shop on blossom street), the second is (A good Yarn) and the 3rd is (Back on blossom street), ect ect REALLY good books :)
