Rating:  Summary: Why don't they proofread these books??? Review: This is a very nice book about a group of quilters who teach at Elm Creek Manor's Quilt Camp and who have been friends for a long time. It takes place within a few month, but interlaced with the present day story are the stories of each quilter.I enjoyed the tales in the book and will look forward to reading Cross Country Quilters, but I do hope that the next book is better proofread. In this one there were many instances where the names of the characters got mixed up and even though you still know what is going on it's extremly annoying. This is actually the reason why I gave three instead of four stars.
Rating:  Summary: Round Robin Review: This one will make you cry. A must read for all quilters!
Rating:  Summary: A very touching story Review: This story is all about conflict, resolution, and moving beyond the hurt. The Elm Creek Quilters are making a surprise quilt for Sylvia, while their own lives are in turmoil. As each quilter is given the round robin quilt to add to, some momentous event happens in her personal life that directly affects how her part of the quilt appears. I think that it is a good lesson on how art imitates life. It is all brought to a head at the end when Sylvia suffers a stroke. The following pages show how each quilter adapt to their own situation and face the changes that must occur in their own lives. A wonderful story and I can't wait to read the 3rd one.
