Though I am a "piecer" and not actually a quilter, I love these stories! The lives of these women and the friendship and bonds they form are what I think most women have or strive to have in their lives.

this series was recommended to me by a friend, I finished it early this morning and enjoyed it very much. Even though the "main" Characters are not in the 3rd story as much, they are in there enough that I knew it was a continuation of the books. This book is a combo of the first 3 books in the series. Starting out with a young couple looking for jobs in a new town and meeting the older owner of Elm Creek Manor. It soon includes others, and I liked the way it follows each person, giving their perspective of what is happing in the story line. Telling how they knew each other and the good parts of a life and the bad. Not everything is tied up in a neat little bow, but enough so that I am eager to read the next 3 installments.

I am continuing to read this book, although it is very long (3 books in one). So far it is enjoyable and what I would consider "light reading". I find it difficult to read the previous reviews which bash this author. I am not a fan of "literary snobs" although I think I am married to one. I like to read a wide variety of works depending on my mood, what people recommend, etc. I don't consider myself experienced enough to be a critic. I can find things that I enjoy in almost every novel, poem, memoir, etc. I especially find it odd that someone would admit to only reading several ages and then post a full blown negative review. There is value in everything, you just have to take what you can and leave the rest.(less)

I really enjoyed the first three books of this series. It was like adding drama and intrigue to sewing. It actually made me want to take up quilting! Loved the descriptions of the fabrics.
