Yeah, these are some of my favorites. I am ready to spend time with my friends again. Hope it is out for Christmas gifting.

I loved Mrs. Lincoln's Dressmaker as well as some of the other historical novels. But then, I am a history nut who just can't get enough. By the way, I was at one of the Lincoln museums in Springfield, IL and while talking with one of the docents, I discovered that the content of Mrs. Lincoln's Dressmaker was stunningly accurate historically. I was so pleased to know that the historical situations in the book were reflective of the reality of life for the Lincoln's in Washington DC society.

I agree that the historical novels, that all involve sewing, are not like the Elm Creek books, but they are not following one set of individuals over the course of time. They are stand alone books about women who are part of our history.
