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

I have read the whole series too. Just starting my SBS quilt and have 3 blocks done so far. The Sylvia's Bridal Sampler book is great it shows each block with complete instructions on how to make it.

I am running a day late and a dollar short, besides my brain is fried. I meant to say that Book 4 AND 14 relate to each other concerning Joanna. That's all - now I am heading back outside and fry my brain some more. 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

Edie, thanks for the listings. I am always looking for a good book. I did not know there were sequels to "Prayers for Sale" I just loved that book. I am definetly going to look up some of these books as I have a credit this month and need another good book to listen to.
I just finished a Nicholas Sparks book that I loved (but then I like most of his books) "The Last Song". Good story and of course he made me cry again!!
