Yet another book about strong women, struggling women, rallying women, blah blah blah. And guess what! Happy endings for everyone - all neatly tied up in a bow. Everyone falls in love, resolves their issues, gets healthy and lives happily ever after helping the less fortunate and kicking the bad guy to the curb. Reminded me way to much of Blossom Street, which was worse in terms of prose, but very parallel in storyline.

Very good book. I would read more from this author.
This was a nice story I enjoyed it.
Loved it - great summer read.

What a great story! I already ordered number 2 from the library and I can't wait to see what happens with Evelyn and Charlie. Being a quilter I really appreciated the quilting theme. One of my quilting friends recently opened a shop in our town and I hope it evolves into a shop just like was described. I think I'll have to buy her this book as a gift!

I'm really liking this book so far. I've made note of several passages because I've identified so much with them. The author has a way with words. She really seems to understand quilting and relationships.
A good read that combines quilting and friendship. I'll probably continue with the series. ...more
