The Quilter's Apprentice

We had a wonderful time discussing this month's book, The Quilter's Apprentice by Jennifer Chiaverini. We were supposed to meet at Jan's house, but she had some kind of major plumbing issues, so we switched and had it at Cindy's house. Of course, Jan cooked some SUPER YUMMY desserts (nobody was surprised at how beautiful the food was). See for yourself.


9 of us chicks gathered to talk and eat. Cindy even made a few of the quilt blocks and printed out some of them so we could actually see what they looked like. Jan found some questions about the book, and we TRIED to stay on task, but usually went off on some crazy tangent and laughed a lot. One of us even read the wrong book. Now she's a month ahead! :)

Here are our descriptive words about the book and our overall rating was 6.1325. :)
Pleasant
Heartwarming
Sew Sew (She JUST HAD TO use these words, but she really liked the book)
A Stitch (hee hee, another play on words. Silly chicks)
Cozy
Cutsie

Fresh Air

Our next book is the Nanny Diaries. It's our Movie Tie-in book so we plan to meet at Julie F's house to watch the movie. Grab a copy and we'll see you Thursday May 15. Here's a tidbit to get you excited....
