    My dream has always been to have an old Victorian home that I would make into a quilt retreat. So....these books are as close to my dream as I will probably ever come. I have all of them and Amazon mails me the latest book as soon as it is out.

    Love her books and read them all.
    Have read other writers of quilt fiction but none are as good as Jennifer.

    I own them all and just love the characters and I have learned more about quilting that any author would imagine. It "seams" so easy to just read about it and find that it enters my store of quilting knowledge.

    Some books in the series are better or more... well better, but all are enjoyable. I listen to them on CD and read them too over and over again. Those gals and a few of the men folk have become my friends. Some you like, some you think are off their rocker but that is just the way it is with friends, isn't it.

    Loved them! It's really hard to find time to quilt when you are reading them because you don't want to stop reading! :)

    I do have and read a half dozen of her books. Easy, fun reads. I am hoping her books will be available on Kindle.

    In stitches,

    There should be a list in the front of each book listing all the books she has written before, in order. Most authors do that. I just looked and The Quilter's Legacy has it.

    You can listen and quilt at the sametime. I love doing that I get lost in the storie and I still get some quilting done at the sometime. I love the series it is so hard waiting for the new books.

    I read them in the order she wrote them. I am on the Aloha Quilt and have the Union Quilters to look forward to, but now I see I will have a new one to read in November. I liked them a lot and sometimes forget that Sylvia and friends are not real people. But.....I WISH I COULD GO TO ELM CREEK QUILT CAMP!!!
