When I arrived home from Cleveland Clinic following my open heart mitral valve surgery last week, a package was waiting on me. A good friend since childhood had sent me a couple of books to read during my convalescence. One of the books she sent was a novel named Circle of Quilters from a series by Jennifer Chiaverini called the Elm Creek quilts. While it is a different genre than I normally read, I found it a very refreshing story. Elm Creek Quilts is a fictional quilt retreat center outside of Pittsburgh where people come and stay and take classes. Staying several days they gather and chat while they sew. Ideas are exchanged and it is a popular spot for quilters. In this particular novel of the series the quilt retreat is losing two staff members and the board is interviewing for their replacement. The stories of five of the applicants are included in the book with each of the five sections concluding with their interview. The last chapter reveals who was selected and why. It was a fun read and a quick read. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun book. Please click on the author's name and book title above and enjoy the video that follows. The video is about another book in the Elm Creek Quilts series but talks some about Chiaverini's writing in general.
