A lovely book for quilters!

What a lovely story this was. I didn’t expect much thinking that the quilting theme was going to overpower the story. But it was a lovely story with great characters and if you are a quilter you will really enjoy how quilts were ‘sewn’ into the story. Enjoy!

enjoyed completely

If you could sum up The Quilter's Apprentice in three words, what would they be?

A really good listen

What other book might you compare The Quilter's Apprentice to and why?

I think I will enjoy this series as much as I did the Benni Harper series by Earlene Fowler, even without the mystery.

Have you listened to any of Christina Moore’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No

If you could rename The Quilter's Apprentice, what would you call it?

Like the name!

Any additional comments?

As a long-time quilter, I enjoyed the gentle instruction woven into the fabric of the story.The reader did a fine job of keeping the characters separate. I could "see" them while I listened.I am looking forward to the other books in this series.

Wonderful story of friendship and Family.

Great book about friends and their love of quilting. And family and roots and life.
I love the friends interaction and the descriptions of the quilts made me want to see what all the quilts looked like and makes me want to move “learning how to quilt” up on my bucket list.

Quilting changes things

What fun to listen to a story about quilters while quilting. The bits and pieces of quilting lore bring more meaning to your own quilts.
