    Read all the Elm Creek books and loved them. There are a lot of them so use the library.
    Just finished the Potting Shed Quilt and the Basement Quilt. Not bad worth reading.
    Read others but don't remember the titles, all ok.

    I agree! First couple were good, then I lost interest.

    Sandra Dallas writes several novels and some of them are quilt related. I really enjoyed her "Alice's Tulips."

    Sandra Dallas has references to quilting in her books, I love Prayers for sale.

    Read up to book 15 in Elm Creek Series. Very upset now because I do not have the ending about the young mom having twins. Even sent a quilt block --made in purples for the charity quilts being made. You voted by color of block. Can anyone please pm me the sex of the babies. I will be going to Fl next week and hope to get some books to read but I still would like to know . Went on web site --couldn't get answer.
    I too like these kind of books but not reading much now. Will now try these other authors. Thanks

    thanks for all the feedback. I really like the idea of a audiobook so I can continue to quilt...... too many things i want to do (read, quilt, sleep!) and not enough time

    Do you like murder mysteries? The Benni Harper series by Earlene Fowler is very good. There is also a series by Terri Thayer, who is also a quilt teacher. Arlene Sachitano (?) and Emilie Richards both have a series.

    The first 3 authors write murder mysteries, while Emilie Richards writes a mystery (more human nature) series.

    You can also query your local library's website or google the internet for other books. I read so much since we retired that I use the library rather than spend money on books. I use that money on fabric and supplies .

    For some reason I just cannot sit down and read a book. But I can sit and sew, clean the house, work in the garden, do my errands in the car with an audiobook. I must be the poster gal for multi-taskiing.......age 75, experienced!!!!!!!! I am now listening to Jeff Shaara and his books on the Civil War - very, very interesting and it does keep your attention too. Edie
