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.

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

Agree with Geri B.

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
