Look for them online, maybe Barnes and Noble.

Jennifer Chiaverini is the author.

My Quilt Guild has several in our library. I am sooo lucky.

Can't remember the person who reads the books, but she's very good. Hearing the voices makes me feel more like I know the characters.

I love them!!! I buy them from Amazon.com--find that they are cheaper than Barnes & Noble and can get free shipping. I own everyone she had written so far---I do not buy very many hardback books except an occasional quilting book, but after I read the first one, I was hooked. They are one of only 2 sets of hardbacks I own,the other is Harry Potter series. Definitely must reads.

try half priced book stores i just bought one there last night and they will buy used books also

I hope this will help anyone who thinks halfway like me: 1. The Quilter's Apprentice - 1999 2. Round Robin - 2000 3. Cross Country Quilters - 2001 4. The Runaway Quilt - 2002 5. The Quilter's Legacy - 2003 6. The Master Quilter - 2004 7. The Sugar CAmp Quilt - 2005 8. The Christmas Quilt - 2005 9. The Circle of Quilters - 2006 10. The Quilter's Homecoming - 2007 11. The New Years Quilt - 2007 12. Winding Ways Quilt - 2008 13. The Lost Quilter - 2009 14. A Quilter's Holiday - 1009 15. The Aloha Quilt - 2010 Nos. 4-14 come together. Won't say a word about it. But, for what it is worth, I read the books in order and it kept the whole family together to totally understand it. I believe No. 6 has the quilting book for the Wedding Quilt book. I would love to make that quilt. Enjoy. Edie |

you can get them on audio book at
www.audible.com You can buy them outright and download them from the site at normal price or you can join for $14.95 a month. With that memembership they give you one credit a month and with your credits you can get most of their books. I have belonged for about 3 years now and I really like the convinence. I love listening to audio books while I sew. It makes the passage of time that much more pleasant for me, especially since I mostly sew alone. |
I'll have to che k this series out! I just read "Prayers for Sale" - Sandra Dallas/ I want to read all her books as well! I highly recomned them!
|
Check out Nancy E. TUrner - "These is My Words" - 1998, "Sarah's Quilt - 2005, and "The Star Garden - 2007. It is a series of three books - Sarah Prine~
Fun books to either read or listen to are the books by Joanne Fluke - they take place in Minnesota. Fun mysteries and loaded with recipes!!!!!!!! Diane Mott Davidson is another good one. Mary Higgins Clark. Ann B. Ross. These are excellent for listening to and sewing or driving or just laying out in the back yard, listening to a good book and watching the clouds go by. Any book that is narrated by George Guidall I listen to. His voice, accents, changes in character are unbelievable. B ooks - The Shack, The Girls, Marley and Me, The Art of Racing in the Rain, Icy Sparks, March, On Agate Hill, On The Beach, The Memory Keeper's Daughter, The Story of Edgar Sawtelle. Authors - Carol Higgins Clark, Diane Mott Davidson, Richard PAul Evans,Earlene Fowler, Jan Karon, Wally Lamb (nasty language, but good stories), Beverly Lewis, Tracie Peterson, Jodi Picoult, Nicholas Sparks. Our library gets rid of their old audio books, and other books by selling them for 50 cents. Needless to say, I have an awful lot of audio books. When I am through with some of them (those I do not want to keep), I give them to a blind friend of mine and when she is done she passes them on to the Lions Club or nursing homes, etc. So they are easy for people to listen to who can't read anymore. All that I have listed above is in cd form from the library. So I figure if they are in cd they are also in regular reading books. I also have books on tape that the library gets rid of just to make room for cds and of course they have the download program too. My computer has the capabilities, but I don't have an ipod or whatever they are, so I am happy with what I can work with. I have enough books now to last me for the rest of my life, but still when an author I like comes out with a new book, I have to get it to keep up with the rest of her stories. Happy quilting and "reading"! Edie That is all - |
Edie,

Good story and of course he made me cry again!! |
I go to Amazon.com
|
You can buy the Elm Creek series at most quilt shows too. that's where I got most of mine. Anybody made the Elm Creek quilts?
|
I just signed up for Kindle for PC's. It's free and you can get any of the Kindle books at their price ($9.95, I think). I just read The Aloha Quilt. I liked it pretty well. I loved the descriptions of the Hawaiian quilt traditions. I've also ordered, but not started yet, two Earlene Fowler books.
|
i have all the series. my hubby got me them for Christmas last year.
He got them from bookstore & walden books. If you need a special title, let me know, I'll keep watch for it. If anyone wants to borrow a book, you may as long as I get it back within 3 weeks from the time I ship it out & of course, take good care of it. If you do want to borrow it from me, pm me please. turtlerouge |
If I didn't have so many darn irons in the fire I would make The Wedding Quilt! But the minute I think I have time for myself, something else pops up! So The Wedding Quilt sits on the back burner. Actually, that was one of my favorite stories. Edie

I've never heard of these books and I read all the time and belong to a bookclub at my library.Are they a story or are theyon quilting?
|
I got the whole series off ebay used.
|
Go to your library online and check under quilting-fiction. Also if you have a library link connecting you with your state and out of state, you can find out how yu get there from your local library. Also, this also works - google Quilting Stories - fiction. You can find a lot there, write them down, check with your library or check on line and get a general idea of what the story is about. My favorite books are the quilting stories. Edie

THANKS FOR THE INFO, WILL LOOK FOR THEM.
|
http://www.daedalus-books.com/ This is one of the best discount price book sellers I have found. Also Amazon.com but look for the used pricing. I have never had a bad experience with either and love books.
|
Go to FindBookPrices.com has a list of what books you are looking for and where to find them with the prices, I found a lot of mine that way. The 2011 is out, it is called The Union Quilters
|
There are several books out with patterns. Also the Silvia Bridal Sampler

I hope this will help anyone who thinks halfway like me: 1. The Quilter's Apprentice - 1999 2. Round Robin - 2000 3. Cross Country Quilters - 2001 4. The Runaway Quilt - 2002 5. The Quilter's Legacy - 2003 6. The Master Quilter - 2004 7. The Sugar CAmp Quilt - 2005 8. The Christmas Quilt - 2005 9. The Circle of Quilters - 2006 10. The Quilter's Homecoming - 2007 11. The New Years Quilt - 2007 12. Winding Ways Quilt - 2008 13. The Lost Quilter - 2009 14. A Quilter's Holiday - 1009 15. The Aloha Quilt - 2010 Nos. 4-14 come together. Won't say a word about it. But, for what it is worth, I read the books in order and it kept the whole family together to totally understand it. I believe No. 6 has the quilting book for the Wedding Quilt book. I would love to make that quilt. Enjoy. Edie |
