I have all of Jennifer Chiavarini's books. I enjoyed them all except the last one "The Union Quilter". Just too slow moving!

I have read them all, from local library, in order. I really enjoyed them. A fairly quick and easy read. I haven't decided if I want to purchase the companion quilting books though. I don't think that I would make any of the quilts.

I loved all of her books too. She came to our quilt guild a while back and showed us some of the quilts from her books. She told us that people come up to her all the time asking questions about her character and their lives today. She always has to remind her readers that these are fictious characters, that they don't exist and therefore don't have lives! She was a lot of fun to listen to.

You don't have to read them in order but some are better read before the others. She does a good job with character development early on, so read some of the early ones first and then you should be fine to read any of them.

I have read all of her books. They were like peanuts, couldn't get them fast enough from my library. I'm so looking forward to the next one. I would love to find a place like that to go and spend a week going to classes and with the atmosphere like that.

This is an excellent site if you want to get into a series of books and read them in order. http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/
