The cross-country quilters Book

This connects two of my addictions, reading and quilting, and requires very little from me as a reader - just like a movie one watches to purely distract and enjoy. Book candy, this is. It hit the spot it needed to this week. I'll continue on with this series.

If you have similar interests, you'll settle into this one nicely. Focus is on a number of women who have attended a quilting retreat at the Elm Creek Quilt center, and they have bonded. Having attended so many of these retreats, I know the truth of it and that is what is most appealing - people who would never have met another way have the opportunity to learn together from their various walks of life, all kinds of folks, and at varying skill levels. But when a new technique, tool or trend is being presented and taught, everyone starts from scratch in most ways. In this book, the bonded women create a sub-group and make promises to meet again and stay connected. The reader gets peeks into each other lives and struggles, and ultimately an idea of how they turn out. Book candy! A nice tension releaser.

Crunch, crunch, crunch. (That's the pop corn disappearing.)
