Great for fans

Another great Elm Creek Quilts book about transitions in women's lives. I'm a long term fan, and I think this book would probably be best enjoyed by other followers of the series, despite the repetition from other books. It might be difficult as a stand-alone novel. There's probably no ideal way to cover so much back story of the familiar characters, but Jennifer Chiaverini does as good a job as any. Not a whole lot of progress is made on the overall plot of the series' main characters- Sarah becomes pregnant, Summer's just about to move for grad school, Bonnie is pondering career options, Gwen's writing her paper, Diane is just about to send her youngest off to college- and then the book leaves them hanging there just as they face their transitions. It leaves a lot of potential for future books, but there's not a lot of resolution.

Still, I really enjoyed the book and it was great to "check in" with the series' original characters. Jennifer Chiaverini's writing style is warm, cozy and comfortable, and she creates some really beautiful images using the symbolism of quilting.

I felt like I was visiting an Elm Creek Quilts camp

Every time I picked up this book, I felt like I was immersed in the warm, friendly world of quilters. I enjoyed finding out what was happening in the lives of characters I'd met before in previous books in the series. Plus, I was inspired to quilt. Keep them coming, Jennifer Chiaverini!

Catching up with the Elm Street Quilters

In this book, Jennifer Chiaverini devotes a chapter to each of the original Elm Street Quilters, delving into their past and catching up with the present and possible future of the women. In each case, a quilt played a part in each woman's past, sometimes in a positive way and sometimes a negative one. This is a book of transition as Judy and Summer prepare to move off and Gretchen, Anna, and Maggie come in to fill different positions at Elm Street Manor. There are some reconciliations between women and also uncertainty as to what the future will bring. There is a pregnancy and a shaky romantic relationship. Each chapter blends together with the others to create a story that is much like a quilt, with each section contributing to a pleasing whole. Series fans both new and old should be pleased with this book.

The Winding Ways Quilt

Just finished Ms. Chiaverini's latest book. I shall remain short and to the point--it was excellent. Her books are so well written and a joy to read and when you get to the last page you are always sad to see the truly enjoyable story end --for now. Then you await her next book. Thank you again Ms. Chiaverini for a very wonderful book.
