I enjoyed this one enough that I finished it in a matter of hours.

In this installment, we get the back story of several potential new instructors for Elm Creek Quilt Camp - namely, how they got into quilting in the first place - and I really liked that.

There were a few annoyances: the author writes as if she truly believes everyone should be coupled and that "the one" exists for every individual; young children speak unrealistically; characters gripe about being twenty pounds overweight as if that's a huge amount; and there were several very obvious typos that changed the meaning of the text.

But I finished it in one day, so I still really liked it, obviously! I'll be curious to see where these new characters go in future books. ( )

This is a gentle book, a nice interesting one about the lives of several people from all over the country in completely different life situations coming to one place to apply for a job and a new life. I really did enjoy it and hope to read more of her series. ( )

The life stories of quilters who apply for a job at Elm Creek Quilt Camp.

In line with the series - no jumping through time which I appreciate. What I did not appreciate was the continued lack of non hetero cis women quilters (one cis hetero male was introduced) and the women remain weak and meek. This many books into the series I hoped for more evolution of character. ( )
