Search - Circle of Quilters (Elm Creek Quilts, Bk 9)

From Booklist
Elm Creek Quilt Camp is firmly at the center of her latest novel in the series, though Chiaverini broadens the geography and characters. An ad for an instructor at the camp attracts candidates from near and far, all offering a look at different perspectives on what quilting means in their lives. Maggie, who works at a convalescent home, stumbled into quilting when she found one at a garage sale and traced its history; Russell, who completed the cancer quilt begun by his wife before she succumbed to that disease, brings an abstract aesthetic--and a male perspective--to the craft; Anna, who is as creative a chef as a quilter, lacks the confidence to stand up for herself in a failing relationship; and Gretchen is a veteran quilter who has struggled with humble beginnings, but her abiding love for the craft has inspired her to make of it a life and a business. All pass through Elm Creek Quilt Camp as the women who run and love the camp deliberate the meaning of the art form.

Jennifer Chiaverini does not disappoint with book #9 in the Elm Creek Quilts series. Two positions are open at Elm Creek Manor and applicants from all corners of the country come in to interview! Great character development in the applicant's background--their lives will have you in tears and laughter. I often wish I could find my own Elm Creek Quilters to have such wonderful friends, quilting skills, life challenges--all entwined in beautiful surroundings that are rich in history.

I highly recommend this book and this series. Ms Chiaverini knows how to make her characters seem real to you and she keeps the storyline moving.

ANOTHER GREAT BOOK. LOVED IT!

Jennifer really loves her characters, and quilting, and that shines through all her Elm Creek books.

This is one of the series that you cant put down once you start it!
