The Quilter's Apprentice/Jennifer Chiaverini

Predictable. Amateurish. Spawned about twenty sequels and companion books that include volumes with recipes and quilt patterns. This story center's around a quilting group that gathers weekly to share tales of life, love etc. Yada, yada, yada. Similar in format to The Friday Night Knitting Club and The Knitting Circle. The story was good but it was sparsely written. Publisher's Weekly says of Chiaverini "her prose is merely serviceable and the dialogue is stilted." Skip it unless there's nothing else available.
