I have read the Elm Creek series and LOVED it. Actually, that is what got me into quilting again. I made 1 finished Log Cabin quilt about 25 years ago and also finished a quilt top right after that. I have not quilted in all this time but the Elm Creek Quileters made me go dig out all my quilting thing (guess I got rid of some of it and had to replace a few things). There are a few books in the series that I have been trying to get from the library but it is one POPULAR series in my area. Love...love...love the Elm Creek Quilters!!!!!!
