Got mine at the Library but I keep an eye open for them at yard sales, etc. They are keepers!

I've never had any luck finding them on paperbackswap. You can find used ones on Amazon and there are usually some on Ebay as well.

I got all of them from the library. They are fun. Read them in the order she wrote them.

Yes, that's how I get my Catherine Cookson books. Three at a time/

I have Elm Creek books I am trying to sell, $5 each plus shipping. If anyone is interested, PM me and I will list the ones I have.

I have every audio book. Be sure to start with the beginning. It all follows the lives of the quilters at Elm Creek. There also is a cookbook that goes with the books! The coffee cake is especially good!

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

Warning! you will get hooked, I loved all of them, I got so addicted I didn't get much sewing done...great reading.
Edie you are wonderful for providing the list, I highly recommend reading them in order.

I belonged to a writers group and I actually won a prize in a contest with a book review on the Elm Creek Quilters trilogy.

I love these too don't own any but I am reading The Lost Quilter now!
