Question About~~~Jennifer Chiaverini Books
#3
I'd be really interested in the answer to this question also. I read on a Kindle, and for some silly reason the first two or three books of the "series" can not be read on a Kindle. I don't really want to start on the ones I have if the characters are the same. Thanks!

Her books go back and forth between modern time and the Civil War era. The characters in the Civil War era books are relatives of Sylvia's.
This link shows the order the books were written if you scroll down and read back up from the Quilter's Apprentice. If you notice some of the titles are actually 2 - 3 of the books put together under one title, so you won't need to read those.
The Runaway Quilt, The Sugar Camp Quilt, The Lost Quilter and the Union Quilters are historical and do not have to be read in order with the modern ones if you don't want to do so.

I love these books. I can no longer read well because of my vision but have them on audio cd's. I love them. Although youd don't have to go in order, you can get confused at some points because it mentions something from a previous book. However, most of the time, they also clarify it in the new book. I have almost all of them so far. I think I've only missed 1 or 2.
They make wonderful gifts for new quilters!

Do the rest of her books carry the character forward or are they different characters in each book ?

I need to catch up as I haven't read her last 2 & so much was going to happen. There are also a couple of sub-themes that go along with this present day thread. I love her books & even better, she is also a great quilter!!! Has been on Sewing With Nancy as she's from Madison, Wisconsin.
I want to go to one of her retreats! Anybody else want to go? Wish there really was an Elm Creek Manor.
