5.0 out of 5 stars Return to Elm Creek: More Quilt Projects Inspired by Elm Creek Quilts Novels, March 17, 2006

This review is from: Return to Elm Creek: More Quilt Projects Inspired by the Elm Creek Quilts Novels (Paperback)

I purchased this book because I had just finished reading the 8th. book in the Elm Creek Quilt series by Jennifer Chiaverini.
I wanted to have the patterns so I could make the quilts from the series. The pictures of the quilts are beautiful and the directions for making the quilts are excellent. Along with the picture of each quilt, Jennifer has given a short background about each quilt and how it fits into the plot of the stories in the series. In order to appreciate this book, you should read the Elm Creek Quilt series. Once you read the first book, you'll be hooked. I'm anxious to get started on my own Elm Creek Quilt.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful!, April 2, 2007

Have you read the Elm Creek Quilts novels? If not, please do! They are wonderful! But it isn't really necessary to have read them to truely enjoy this beautiful pattern book. And if you love the novels, but aren't a quilter - I know you will enjoy the pictures of the beautiful quilts in this book. I know I can just sit flipping through the pages and dream away...

Based on the quilts mentioned in the novels, Ms. Chiaverini presents 12 new projects in this book. In size they vary from wall hangings to king size bed. They range from easy to challenging, and there is both piecing and appliqué. They vary in style - wholecloth, all pieced, all appliquéd, sampler, traditional blocks and crazy quilting - so there is really something for everyone! All the patterns have instructions that are easy to read and follow, and there is a section of quilting 101 in the back of the book.

I'm working on my Sylvia's Bridal Sampler, and have three more quilts from this book on my to-do-list: the Oceans Wave, the New York beauty and the Shoo fly quilts, and I'm sure you'll find projects in this book you will want to do.

Enjoy!!!

I especially enjoyed memories of the delightful Elm Creek books intermixed with the patterns for the quilts from those books! It was like enjoying the stories all over again.
