Product Description
When Elm Creek Quilts announces openings for two new teachers, quilters everywhere are vying to land the prestigious post. The impending departure of two founding members means untold changes for the Elm Creek Quilters. As they begin the interview process, a single question emerges: Who can possibly take the place of beloved colleagues and friends?"We must evaluate all of the applicants' qualities," advises Master Quilter Sylvia Compson. "Our choice will say as much about us as it says about who we decide to hire." Who merits a place among the circle of quilters? Will it be Maggie, whose love of history shines through in all her projects; Anna, whose food-themed quilts are wonderfully innovative; Russ, the male quilter with a completely original style; Karen, a novice teacher whose gifts for language complement her deep understanding of the quilters' mission; or Gretchen, the soulful veteran whose craft is inspired by quilting tradition?

This selection was not received from this seller. I have written two e-mails to TSC books complaining about this issue and have had NO response!!!
I will be seriously considering NOT purchasing anything from Amazon in the future if this is not addressed in a timely fashion!!!
Thank you for your inaction.

I purchased this as a bargain paperback and perhaps that skews my review. The quality of the paper in the book is very poor. Based upon all the 5 star reviews, I was hoping to really enjoy this book, but I found it hard to get into. The most interesting part was with the history of the quilt, so at least I learned something.

This continues to be a good series. I am a quilter, so I can easily identify with the characters. Recommend this book to quilters everywhere!
The best yet in this series in the lives of quilters February 29, 2008
This eighth book in the series, Elm Creek Quilts has an ad out for new teachers to gain fresh blood and new outlooks in quilting techniques. There is Maggie, who is about to lose her longtime job in the nursing home she has worked in for years. Then Karen, an overworked housewife with three kids who feels underappreciated by her husband. Anna comes in chapter three who is a chef and a quilter. Her boyfriend Gordon doesn't treat her right, and she is feeling letdown all the time. Russell is another character in the story who learned to love quilting from his wife Elaine. When Elaine passes away from a serious illness, he is lost and deeply depressed. He goes on with quilting though eventually, but is ashamed to be the only one in a community of all women quilters. The last character in this book is Gretchen, who has a disabled husband and has been a housekeeper for a wealthy woman for many years. After her employer Heidi treats her very unfairly many times over, Gretchen knows she must move on. She also applies for the job.
After all interviews are conducted, the Elm Creek quilters have an important decision to make and choosing the right candidates is not any easy task. In the end three of five are the chosen ones.
Book Series review February 23, 2008
Have read all of her books, enjoyed each one very much. They don't need to be read in sequence, but I did. Am looking forward to her next release hopefully before the end of the year. Also have recommended to all of my 'Quilting' friends. Jennifer Chieverini's web site is also very informational and funny. Maybe she will have a book signing in East Texas where so many of us enjoy quilting and would enjoy meeting her.
