Just finished The Union Quilters and have read almost all of her books. The Elm Creek Quilt stories mostly take place in the area of Penn State University and Bellefonte PA. This is in central Pennsylvania. I know the area well, my husband comes from there and the writer is from Madison. Her husband went to Penn State so they lived there while he was in college. I love the characters and story line, it all goes together to make delightful and informative reading. I have most of her books and the Aloha Quilters book is next on my list. She knows her history and uses it wisely.
