I would have to say mine is Anna, the chef. I identify with her on so many levels. I'm glad that she was written as a normal person and someone who is capable of having a romance. It's nice to see plus-sized characters portrayed realistically instead of like the stereotypical "fat girl."

Who is your favorite?

I love all the Elm Creek characters and identify a little with each one. The only book I haven't read is The Quilter's Kitchen so I don't know much about Anna yet but I ordered it last week. My favorite Elm Creek book so far was The Lost Quilter.

I just started the series and don't have a favorite yet.

The Quilter's Kitchen is really good, although it doesn't talk too much about Anna. It's more about Sylvia and her family.

I love them all. I haven' gotten any for a while. Does any one have a list that list them in the order they should read? If you could share, I would appreciate it.

The Quilter's Apprentice (1999)

Early next year she's putting out a book called Union Quilter and then later next year she's putting out another book that's untitled so far.

Zoo - Thanks a million! I will go through my books and then get what I don't have.

I love these books and read them in whatever order I pick them up off the shelf that day! I also like so many of the characters. I love Agnes, she appears so sweet but there is an iron core to her! I love how as Jennifer has written more books, we've gotten to see more characters develop. I was happy to learn more about Bonnie in the Aloha Quilt.

The Aloha Quilt made me want to make a Hawaiian style quilt. Actually, after reading that book DH and I went out for Hawaiian food that night. lol

I've just started the series too. My little librarian said she would order them as I got to them...I've read the 1st 3 now...so having to wait for her order to come in. I like how Jennifer develops the characters though and I can't wait to meet more of them!
