I have read them all and they are all about the same people. Two of them are set back in pre-Civil war and Civil war days but they are about the ancestors of the Bergstroms so they are still connected even if in a different era.

I had our little library order them. I'm reading Union Quilters right now. I have read all but 1 or 2 now and not always in order. I don't think it will bother you much if you read a few of them out or order Dreamer...even with your BI.

The main characters come into each novel...with sometimes a few away for this tale.

There are a few newcomers with each book, but you will recognize
most of the staff at the retreat.

i would suggest that you try to beg, borrow, but not steal, the first few books. It would be worth it to read them first.

I love Jennifer C's books. I've read them all and some I've read twice. She is the one who has inspired me to begin quilting. I too wish there was an Elm Creek Quilting Guild somewhere nearby.

Yes, she carries the characters forward. They become like family! Enjoy! :-)

I think that I have read all of her books that my library and neighboring liebaries have. Just love her books. I am now on "The Union Quilters" and am enjoying it very much. A lot of history. Somehow I missed the book where Sara has her twins, does anyone know which book this is in??

I have read all of them thru the Aloha Quilt. The main characters are in or mentioned in all the books or connected in some way to the story line. I really enjoyed them and would highly recommend them!
