I thought the "Wedding Quilt" was already out. I have read all of her books, and I love them.

Can you get them on the Kindle?

I have gotten some for my Kindle. I also got the first 6 - in groups of three in hard cover.

I read the entire set last winter, in the order that she wrote them. You can check out her website and find more interesting information about her and her work. Also, check out the quilting section of your local bookstore. She has several Elm Creek Quilt books in publication and they have many of the patterns worked on by the characters in her books!

I have read all of them so far and liked them all.

I've been reading the "Annie's Attic" series and I just love the quaint Maine town they take place with. I'm from New England and they are a cure for homesickness until I can move back home soon I hope. I'll be living in a small town again and can't wait for that life again.

Will be helping to promote the NEW book "The Wedding quilt" due out soon!

I have them all in audio books. Love them to pieces. I like the slow pace, the quiet excitement of the stories. I am not underwhelmed. I am just totally whelmed (I don't know if that is a word or not. but it is how I feel!) Can't wait for the next one to come out and yes, I read them in order and will shortly start all over again.

I can't wait to get "The Wedding Quilt". I also want to make "Sylvia's Wedding Quilt". I don't know if I ever will. First off, I need the book with directions; secondly, I have to know that I would be able to do as well as the other quilters. See what I mean???? All the characters in the book become friends! Maybe that is what I love about the books. They are my friends. Edie
