I have had quilts all my life…gifts from both grandmothers and a bonus from Great grandmother Hall (photo on the “About” page).
Until I browsed the aisles of the Used Book Store in White Pine, TN I did not know there was a series of books on quilts and quilting. I bought four of the series by Jennifer Chiaverini. Jennifer is delightful…delving the reader in the process of quilt making, choosing fabrics, patterns and the network of friendships that develop along the way.

Other books by Jennifer Chiaverini: An Elm Creek Quilt Sampler, An Elm Creek Quilts Album, Circle of Quilters, The Wedding Quilt, The Giving Quilt, The Winding Ways Quilt and The Aloha Quilt
Of course on my return trip to the Used book store I find two more authors…
Jan Cerney and Arlene Sachitano both with multiple titles.

I’ve read the entire Elm Creek Quilt series and loved them all. I was sorry when it came to an end. Jennifer’s writing is so engrossing that when I finished the first book, in one day no less, I felt like I needed to start on a quilt right that very moment!
Well, well, well I did not know you were a big fan of Jennifer. You are way ahead of me. I bought what they had at the bookstore. Four more to go plus two collections of stories.
