Carol Dean Jones books are very much about patchwork. They are based on the ins and outs in a patchwork shop and solving murders and disappearances. I loved them all.
I found Marie Bostwick’s Cobbled Court Quilts series simple fun reads….also a Jennifer Chiaverini fan! Thank you, Fallon, for reminding me to read more for fun. When I was a young girl and sent to bed at bedtime, I would hide under my covers with a flashlight and read!
Thanks for these suggestions, Fallen. I love to read, especially sewing and quilting books. I enjoyed your presentation style and would like to hear more. 😘
I am into "cozy mysteries", mystery books without the suspense and gore. Mary Marks has a series of books called The Quilting Mysteries. I have enjoyed the light hearted story and feel like I am part of the quilting group the story revolves around. I appreciate this video as I am always looking for new books to read that involve my hobbies and interests. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you! Loved this. I definitely need to look into After the Storm. Sounds right up my alley. I also love mysteries and historical fiction. If you have an Audible account, you may enjoy The Quilt Walk by Sandra Dallas and the Elm Creek Quilters series. The Quilt Walk, and some of the Elm Creek Quilters are free.
A quilting series - David Ciambrone. I read Hidden Threads. An actual quilter quilts a quilt and her husband David is the writer that incorporated the quilt she quilted. Met the writer at the Dallas Quilt Show.
I see that someone already mentioned The Persian Pickle Club by Sandra Dallas, it is a favorite of mine. Also by Sandra Dallas - Whiter Than Snow and Prayers for Sale. I quit reading Jennifer Chiaverini because of the contentious relationship between a mother and daughter (which I figured would sort itself out but just took way too many books to do so). Happy reading.
I read The Forgotten Semstress by Liz Trenow and enjoyed it very much. It begins at the turn of the 19th and 20th century, I think you would like it too.

that's so funny, I can't count how many times I got in trouble when I was in school for putting the book inside my textbook like that. My problem is I can't hear when I am reading, I get so engrossed in the book I tune out everything else. So the teacher would call on me with a question, knowing that I wasn't listening, and then I would get in trouble. lol.
Emilie Richard wrote about five books based around quilting. Read them maybe 20 years ago so don’t think they would be classified as mysteries but she is an excellent writer.
You should look into books written by Sandra Dallas, she has one also titled, “A Quilt for Christmas.” I dearly love every book she has ever written, Patchwork Bride, Prayers for Sale, Alice’s Tulips, Diary of Mattie Spencer and Whiter than Snow, just to name a few. Quilts are in the backdrop of her books. I’m sure you would enjoy this author very much. As for Amish books, my favorite author in this realm is Wanda Brunstetter. Another author I love to read is Sharyn McCrumb, her Ballad Series is phenomenal. I’ve read everything by these 3 authors, they do not disappoint. I will look into the books you mentioned, as I’m always looking for a good book.
I am also always looking for a good book! Thank you so much for the authors to look into! Someone else mentioned Sandra Dallas as well! I am adding these to my list.
Fallon I enjoyed your reviews. I have read some of these. I am a huge fan of the Elm Creek series and Marie Bostwick has the Cobbled Court series which is mystery mixed with quilting. Take care😊

What are some of your favorite quilting related novels and why?
@@sewbeitquilts which book do you suggest I start with
My favorite quilting novels were Elm Creek quilts by Jennifer Chiaverini.
Best ever. I fell in love with all the characters.
These are on my list to read too!
A friend found a big stack of these at an estate sale. Really enjoying them!
Thank you for the book recommendations! I love to read as well as quilt.
Also a avid reader since I was young. I will have to check these out, thanks for the review.
My favourite is “The Persian Pickle Club” by Sandra Dallas. I fell in love with the characters and love everything about it. Deb x 🥰
I really love a book where you can fall in love with the characters! Character development is so important to me!

I love that! Sometimes we just had to finish our book to find out what happened!
Ann Hazelwood has a couple of quilting series. I am reading the Door County series now. Loving them!
Thanks for the review, I would love more reviews.

I do use audible! Thank you for the tip! I have the Elm Creek Quilters series on my list but I haven't purchased any yet.
I love the Jennifer Chiaverini series, Elm Creek novels. And also Christmas themed novels.
The Elm Creek series is on my list!
A quilting series - David Ciambrone. I read Hidden Threads. An actual quilter quilts a quilt and her husband David is the writer that incorporated the quilt she quilted. Met the writer at the Dallas Quilt Show.
Amazing, so enjoyed this review. I have read some other series involving quilts, but none of these. Thanks you.
If you read any of the books I listed I would love to hear what you thought!
Enjoyed your book reviews
Thank you!

Many of us started reading the Elm Creek Quilt series by Jennifer Chiavarini -
That series is on my list too.
I read The Forgotten Semstress by Liz Trenow and enjoyed it very much. It begins at the turn of the 19th and 20th century, I think you would like it too.
That does sound like a book I would like! Thank you for the suggestion.
Check out Earlene Fowler! Quilting mysteries… very enjoyable!
Thank you! I am adding to my list! There have been so many great suggestions.
My daughter in law found me some of her books at a garage sale and gave them to me. They're the first sewing related books I read and loved them.
Fallen I love this !!! Thank you
I am so glad! If you read any of the books on the list I hope you enjoy them as much as I did!
I also love to read. I typically read mysteries and love books that grab you right from the start. I think book review videos would be great.
I agree with you so much! I love a book that grabs my attention right away too!
Hey Fallon. My favorites are horror, scifi, fantasy, and romance
When it comes to romance I usually go to Nora Roberts or Debbie Macomber! It seems like you have a broad list to choose from!

The Taylor Quinn Mysteries are fun!❤
Yes! I found a few good series so I am really excited to read more of them!
Thanks for the reviews!
You're welcome.

Sometimes it just had to be done! I would start reading a book and just had to know what happened!
me too
So funny because I’m just finishing Double Wedding Ring (Garnet County Mysteries Book 3) by Debbie Mumford. It’s a pretty quick read.
I will look for that one!
