    Yes, your library should have them and they are a fun and easy read but definitely read them in order, then you'll know who everybody is and why they're doing what they're doing.

    Just finished listening to The Aloha Quilt. I have gotten them from my library through their inter-library loan program. "Reading" them in order is very important to keep the characters growing with the story.

    I've listened to several of them, available online from Audible.com. Kinda pricey if you don't have a membership (I used to have a membership because audio books saved my sanity with 2 hours of commuting every day). Can't remember the person who reads the books, but she's very good. Hearing the voices makes me feel more like I know the characters.

    Hi...Did you mean Abe's Books? If so, at the top of their website they have lots of bookstores in their system that have FREE shipping anywhere in the continental USA, however, on some books, seems like their price is the same or more than the ones that charge for shipping.

    Our library has the entire series, but you can get them at Books a Million in-store & on line.

    The Runaway Quilt is the book to read before The Lost Quilter. It refers to the same person, Joanna! Wonderful stories. Edie

    i get them fromthe library and get them on cd's so i can listen while I work on my longarm or am sewing, it's easy to listen and not as distracting as tv.
