5.0 out of 5 stars Charming, gentle stories, August 2, 2005
By Blythe (California) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
You don't have to be a quilter to enjoy these touching, gentle stories about the quiet lives that people live. Although, after reading a few of Jennifer Chiaverini's charming novels, you may find yourself tempted to give quilting a try! These novels are a perfect gift to give to anybody who enjoys quilting, or anyone who simply enjoys pleasant stories about the small trials and successes in the lives of ordinary people.

5.0 out of 5 stars Have found another wonderful author!, September 8, 2005
By Sara Rose (EAST HAMPTON, NY United States) - See all my reviews
I borrowed the 2nd and 3rd book in the series from the library. I've been unable to find the first book, so am glad I found that Amazon has Chiaverini's novels. The women in the books become family. The two I've read so far are books to read in a big comfy chair in front of a crakling fire on a cold winter day, although I read mine while sitting under sun-filtering pine trees while camping. Now I know what to buy my quilting-crazy sister-in-law for Christmas!

4.0 out of 5 stars An Easy Read, September 10, 2005
By C. Platt "WestJoCo" (Salt Lake City, UT USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I really enjoy the Elm Creek Quilts books, having just discovered them. They are easy to read and I find myself becoming very interested in the lives of the characters. My only complaint is that many of the situations they find themselves in aren't very believable....but that's fiction for ya! I love the description of the quilts and the detail that goes into telling about making them. I love that there is a website to see the quilts from the stories. These are just fun stories and I'm glad to have bought the book!
