Have you read a good (fiction) Quilting Book lately?
 
I would like to find a good fiction book about quilts/quilters. Any suggestions. I have read the Earlene Fowler series and loved them, ready to move on..

Have you read the Elm Creek Quilt series by Jennifer Chiaverini? Also, Vannetta Chapman has a series (or maybe more than one) that are quilt related.

Marie Bostwick has a series of 4 or 5 that are really good.

I have not read the Elm Creek Series, wondered if anyone had and if they were good. I will look into them. Thanks.

Most libraries carry the Elm Creek Series. Check with your local one. :)

Clare Donohue has a really good series. We used to have a quilt novel book club on the board but the lady who started it dropped it. I really enjoyed it.

The Quilter's Apprentice by Jennifer Chiaverini .... simple mystery, don't remember much about it but it must have been ok. She writes the Elm Creek series.

Jane Peart writes a Christian fiction American quilt series of books. I skimmed one or two of them but did not read the whole book.

Threading the Needle by Marie Bostwick .... it was easy reading and held my interest. She has also written other
books with a quilting theme.

Both Earlene Fowler and Teri Thayer wrote several books centered around women and quilting.

I have read and have every book (audiobook). Love them. Jennifer Chiaverini is marvelous. You have to start at the beginning , however, so you can follow the characters in the book. They are wonderful. Edie

I do not take the time to read much, I guess I will get myself some audiobooks would be great while sewing.
