I really enjoyed this book series, and I was sad when I got to the last one. I like how the meaning behind the quilt patterns would be incorporated in the story lines. Luke would make fun of the books and how many plot points could involve a quilt! I still enjoyed the books. Easy and fun reading.
ReplyDeleteMore recent historical Civil War books that I haven't read yet are:
ReplyDelete"Mrs. Lincoln’s Dressmaker" & "The Spymistress" - They both look very good!
Thanks for the update
DeleteI like these books too, though I am only halfway through. Wouldn't it be cool to go to quilt camp? It sounds fun and relaxing.
