The Quilter's Apprentice by Jennifer Chiaverini
3.0
Sarah and her husband move to a small town so he can take up a job offer. Sarah is desolate about her inability to find a job herself. Then she meets one of her husband's clients, the rude and bristly Sylvia Compson, who offers her a job helping to restore the old Elm Creek Manor ready to sell. Sarah agrees, if Sylvia will teach her how to quilt. A unique friendship develops as Sylvia tells her of the life she has lived.
I enjoyed reading this book and finding out why Sylvia was so rude and distant with everyone. I also liked the other members of the quilting group and I look forward to finding out more about them in the later books.
I knew nothing about quilting when I started to read this book, given to me by a bookcrossing friend, but by the end of it I was browsing quilting web sites and getting interested in the subject. Now I am about to embark on making my first quilt! So a new hobby has been spawned by reading this book!
