    Just wondering if any of you have read the Elm Creek Quilt series and what did you think of it?

    I read them and enjoyed them. However, my taste runs more toward historical autobiographies. ( Easy reads though)

    Are they mysteries? Is each in the series connected? What time period to they take place in?

    I've read most of them and have really enjoyed them. For those who haven't read them, I suggest reading them in order because it is a continuing series. The books are set in present time, but a couple fit in the series as historical novels. Enjoy!

    They are a series, set mostly in current time, although sometimes there are flashbacks...
    You can read them in any order, but thats just me...
    Jennifer is coming out with another, I think in March...I LOVE reading them, although they are rather easy reads...not too much romance...

    I love the series. I'm just finishing The Aloha Quilt for the second time. I have read through the series twice now. It was easy reading especially when I was taking my mom to Dr. and physical therapy appointments. A little romance, a little history, a little quilt reference. Nothing complicated or mind boggling.
    I really should try a block or two from the pattern books that I have!!! Oh well...more dreaming.
