Dollycas’s Thoughts
This was my JUST FOR FUN book this month. This is one of my favorite series for many reasons. Before my accident one of my passions was quilting, the books in this series inspired me so much. Jennifer is a Wisconsin author and doesn’t live too far from me. We have never met and probably never will but I feel a bond to her through her stories. I may not physically be able to create the quilts with my hands but my mind is always creating quilts I hope to help my family make in the future. Once a quilter, always a quilter.
This book is unique in that it is full of Hawaiian history, with stories of not only how quilting came to the islands but a lot about the whole Hawaiian culture.
While this is Bonnie’s adventure the rest of the Elm Creek Quilters are an important part of the story. Part of this story actually takes place at the same time as the Elm Creek Quilters are celebrating A Quilter’s Holiday.
This is one of the series I have gotten behind on, but it one of the series I plan to catch up on for the Finish The Series Reading Challenge. The newest story Sonoma Rose
