I started reading Sandra Dallas’ books long before I fell in love with quilting. I love them! I’ve read all of the Elm Creek books too. The narrator is terrific! Thank you for all the smiles I get when listening to you all while I’m sewing.
There was a movie in the 90s or early 2000s about an appliqué quilt. Oh geez, something like American Quilt. My, I can think of the name of it. It was a fabulous movie. Maybe How To Make An American Quilt.
Our Elm Creek book club meets at Creekside Quilting in Clive Iowa. We have read all of her books in the series even the latest released this spring. We highly recommend this series. Chelsie, I would love to read your future books as you begin your author series.
A friend told me about the Elm Creek books a few weeks ago. I have the first four to read and will check out Sandra Dallas' books as well. Thanks for always sharing your love of quilting and reading.
“How to make an American Quilt” (1995) was the movie that got me interested in Quilting! Set in modern times, the ladies of the town, get together to make a quilt for Finn as a wedding present. All the ladies have a personal story which they include in their quilt blocks.🌸
I love Jennifer Chiaverini books. In addition to her quilting books she also has non-quilting books. Of course the quilting books are dear to my heart!!
Not only have many people made their own (hand raised here although I still have to quilt mine, LOL) but I've seen patterns of it and even finished quilts like it for sale on Etsy!
I have the Santa panel, I would love to learn from you both on how to sew this panel. I have some 10 inch stackers of the fabric to make the blocks. Please share your process with us all. Thank you love watching you
Love the Sunshine village quilt, thinking it’s calling my name. Thanks for sharing all the info, I’ll be checking out the show/movies adorn a quilt/quilts. 👍❤️🙂
Got to meet Jennifer Chiaverini in Lancaster, PA once a number of years ago while there was a major quilt show happening - she was at a local book store. They are great books.
Last year I listened to an enjoyable audiobook called "The Half Stitched Amish Quilting Club" by Wanda Brunstetter about an Amish widow who gives quilt making lessons to a diverse group of non-quilters and winds up enriching their lives in addition to learning how to construct a quilt. I believe there is a second book in the series as well.
Love the pin cushion w scrap basket made by Curry Bungalow. So lovely in your fabrics. I have ordered items from her shop and everything has been exquisite, beautifully made, and so useful.
I loved reading Marie Bostwick’s Cobbled Court Quilt Series! I became a quilter because of her! She even sold a book to Hallmark and she has a Christmas Movie about quilting! The first book in the series is called A Single Thread. And she is a quilter herself. I listened to her on Audible.📕
Yes and I believe that every one of her books has a companion quilt pattern. A number of them were designed along with Deb Tucker of Studio 180 Designs and use her rulers to make them.
I have read all of the Elm Creek Quilt books. Very good, easy reads, relaxing and fun. There was a pattern book and a lot of the books have a specific quilt pattern as an underlying theme. I highly recommend. There was also a quilt pattern released for the quilt in the movie, “How to Make An American Quilt”. Great movie and a beautiful quilt! Ken Burns has an unbelievable quilt collection that has been featured on PBS. Great video, thanks all!
I hope you share your progress as you sew the Swell quilt. I have the kit too and would love to sew along. Elm Creek Quilt series is wonderful. Jennifer Chiaverini’s newest book in the series is The Museum of Lost Quilts. One can also read it as a standalone.
I love that quilt on the wall, I’ve bought the pattern already. Now to wait for the fabric. 😊. I am currently working on Tulip and Vine with a precut of Laguna sunrise, I love it!
Omg, I love the Elm Creek Book series! I started many, many years ago and still read them as the new books come out. Great writer, love the history and quilting in the books. Great series! P.S. I also keep all my books in a bookshelf. I’ve been watching you podcast for about 3 years. Look forward to each one. My mother and I loved to craft together (not quilting), but as you guys chat together it brings back wonderful memories with my mother. She passed away in 2015 at 92. Thanks for a great visit/memories every couple weeks. Nancy Columbus NM
When I heard y'all talking about Chelsi's son describing his sauce group, it reminded me of a time when my family was having a BBQ (burgers and hot dogs) and I overheard my daughter trying to teach her 6 year-old son the word "condiment". All my grandson heard was the word "condom." Despite attempts to teach my grandson the correct pronunciation of the word condiment - he continued to refer to condiments as condums. Fortunately, his brain shifted and he eventually got the word condiment and stopped saying condum.
I love watching you guys! Thanks for the book recommendations, just borrowed the first two from my online library. Also, i’ve been wanting to get new bath towels and was looking at Cozy Earth. Ordered some today.
I also have read most of Jennifer Chiaverini quilt books. Loved the books and following the story about the two sisters life. Always looking for quilting books to read.
I bought the Swell Christmas and Holly Jolly Urban Chicks quilt kits when they were released. I made both of them for Christmas gifts for my grandkids. The applique Santa in the Swell kit made me nervous but wasn't nearly as difficult as I made it out to be. I stiffly starched the panel, used strips of heat and bond around the edges, and appliqued it over the log cabin blocks with tissue paper underneath. All my worry was for nothing. The quilts are just precious! You guys will whip these out in no time!
There is an episode in The Waltons titled The Quilting where Mary Ellen resists joining the women in her family in making a quilt for her. Great episode!!
OMG1 I love house quilts and I bought the pattern in your Etsy shop last week. I can't wait to make it. Love, love, love it! Thank you three for all you do for us quilters.
I am pretty sure someone else has mentioned How to Make an American Quilt, which is also a book. I have not read it, but I did see the movie when it came out in the theatre. As for the Elm Creek Quilts books, they are a must-read. Jennifer still writes, but these days, it's fictional history. Jennifer is a professor at the University of Chicago, I believe. Marie Bostwick has a series similar to the Elm Creek Quilts, and they are just as enjoyable. My favorite character in that series is Mary Dell Templeton. As far as television goes, the Yellowstone series has a ton of quilts in it. 1883 has the most but keep your eyes peeled in 1923 and the regular show Yellowstone. There are several quilters out there who have replicated the quilts from the series. One of them being the Beth Dutton quilt.
Sherri, I just had to tell you how much I loved your MBH5 quilt, and your Scrappy HST quilt. The setting for the scrappy quilt with the alternate block is just gorgeous. I do plan on making that quilt. Thank you for sharing, and the free content.
You guys!!!!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 listen!!! I am so glad that you all made the comment about looking for quilts in movies, because I was coming to tell you the following: Horizon: An American Saga (HBO MAX is streaming it right now, Amazon etc.) has like FIFTY or more quilts displayed prominently throughout the entire movie!!!! Tons and tons more than I have ever seen in any show/movie. So many you could sit with the entire movie on fast forward and stop everytime you see one….it’s that many; you can’t miss them! Side note: you all should totally watch How to Make an American Quilt ❤️❤️❤️
I went on a Quilter’s Cruise that Earlene Fowler was a special guest on. Since the book series titles were the names of quilt blocks there was a challenge to make a quilt using all of the titled blocks. We brought them on the trip and had a show and tell. Loved that book series and the characters. ♥️ 🪡
I have read several books with regards to sewing that are fiction, but with an historical note to them. The wedding dress sewing circle by Jennifer Ryan is great, and Letters from a patchwork quilt is also good by Clare Flynn. I listen to them while driving to and from work to fill in when you don't have a podcast to listen to. Thanks for all you do!
I enjoyed listening to your time with your grandchildren, and I wonder how Chelsi gets it all done, but I also think as grandparents we are “ hyper-focused” on the kiddos when they are around. And , I will give up my quilting /stitching time to spend playing with my grandkids. Chelsi, your son identifying his food by food groups remind me of my grandson who is 4, and he will identify an item saying “this is made with plastic, wood, or glass. “ You two are such busy ladies designing gorgeous fabric and quilt patterns, and I am glad you get a little break to be able to enjoy some personal sewing. I am looking forward to your new book and Laguna Sunrise collection.
Sandra Dallas “The Persian Pickle Club” was a murder mystery book. I made a wall hanging depicting the women sitting around a quilting frame for an Ugly Fabric Challenge we had at our guild. I won first place!
Loved the Elm Creek books. Another good series is the Benni Harper quilt mysteries by Earlene Fowler. Each book title is the name of a traditional quilt block.
I have read all the Jennifer Chiaverini novels, including her stand-alones that are not part of the Elm Creek Series. They are well worth the time. I highly recommend them to anyone interested in textile arts, not just quilters.
Don’t watch Hallmark movies anymore but many of the older ones had quilts and one had a Kim Diehl quilt on the back of the sofa. Heard a podcast about a lady that furnished quilts for movies and tv shows. When Elm Creek books first came out I read probably the first dozen in order. Also love Sandra Dallas books with or without quilts. Another great author that wrote about five books based on quilts is Emilie Richards. Highly recommend them.
When you show your quilts on the table, they always seem to be made on point. Is this correct? If not, could you please also show them on “square”; or, the way you hang them or how they look on a bed? I would appreciate it. Your quilts are all so very beautiful. I’ve been “collecting” your fabrics for quite awhile😉😇❤️
Marie Bostwick also has a great series of books that center around quilting and the ups and downs of life and how quilters coming together to support one another keep us going.
Sherri I wanted you to take off your head phones so I could see your new hair color!! What little I could see of it it looks so beautiful!! Chelsi I ordered your house quilt! I love house blocks.
Another great author, whose books involve quilts and quilters groups is Ann Hazelwood. She has written several series set in Missouri: Colebridge Coummunity has 7 books in the series, East Perry County has 5 books in the series, and Wine Country has 5 books in the series. Then she has a series set in Door County, WI, that had 5 books in the series. You can sometimes find a series boxed together in a set. I loved them all. Ann does a great job in her character development, which links the series together, and is what I truly loved.
Quilt Designer Karen Griska has a post on her "Selvedge" blog from back in 2011 called "Quilts In Movies" where people can record quilt sightings in movies and can still be added to today. selvageblog.blogspot.com/2011/12/quilts-in-movies.html
I've read some of the Elm Creek Quilt series several years ago before I started quilting. I recently reread the first book and plan to continue reading more but I am not a fan of historical stories. I prefer modern stories. How to make an American Quilt is one of my favorite movies.
I have read most of the Elm Creek Quilter's Series! They are so very interesting and they tell you about history of quilting and history behind the blocks! Also check out Earlene Fowler! I have the quilt book also, on my list of things to do!
I've read eight of Jennifer Chiaverini's boooks - in fact I am almost finished with the latest called The Museum of Lost Quilts. I've read quite a few of Sandra Dallas also. All interesting quick reads.
I went to look at the thread catchers and they are not the same as yours. They look like bean bags, no boxed corners. Did you order yours specifically that way?
Aunt Jane of Kentucky..don't remember the author.❤❤❤ Francis ORoak Dowel spelling isn't correct. Margaret goes modern is one. She also has or had a podcast.... Things I learned from God while quilting...don't remember author.❤❤❤❤❤ That dorky homemade look don't remember that author either...she has a more recent book out...that one I haven't read yet!
Frances O'Rourke Dowell in addition to being a young adult fiction and quilt fiction author is also currently a Board Member of the (non-profit) Quilt Alliance that works to help Quilters document their quilts either physically (with labels) or through videos of the quilters talking about their quilt creations or collections. Frances also has a wonderful Quilt Fiction podcast where you can listen to another of her quilt books called "Friendship Album 1933" about a circle of women who come together in that period to make a quilt to enter in the Sears World's Fair contest. I see now that the audio files for that book are no longer available free but can be accessed with a paid guild membership (details on the site). Frances has also interviewed for her podcast many of the other quilt book authors mentioned in the comments for this AQL episode.
OMG, I can't believe you showed my quilt...very honored! Love you all and Im actually sewing with Emma as I saw this. Lol Thank you!
Your quilt is beautiful !!
You’re incredibly talented!! Keep up the good work!
@@lisagilbert8472 Thank you very much!
It’s beautiful Patti!
@@amiablecrafter Thank you so much
I love Jennifer Chiaverini’s books. I found them years ago and have read almost all of them. They are great!❤️
Great UA-cam. I’ve also read Elm Creek Quilt books. Loved them. Couldn’t wait to read the next one. ❤❤.
Yes! I would love to read your romcom🎉
Can't wait to see y'all sew your Swell Christmas quilts!!! Also I've read almost all of the Elm Creek Quilts & my favorite is the first one for sure 👍
Thank you for the book and blog suggestions! You guys are always spot on with your recommended readings.
I love you guys!!! Your interactions are priceless! The three of you are the best❤❤❤
I started reading Sandra Dallas’ books long before I fell in love with quilting. I love them! I’ve read all of the Elm Creek books too. The narrator is terrific! Thank you for all the smiles I get when listening to you all while I’m sewing.
I love the Elm Creek Quilt Books!!! I’ve been collecting them. They are fabulous books!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
I have an Elm Creek Quilt, quilt book. I want to make it soooo badly. It’s on my bucket list.
Every Elm Creek book needs to be read.
There was a movie in the 90s or early 2000s about an appliqué quilt. Oh geez, something like American Quilt. My, I can think of the name of it. It was a fabulous movie. Maybe How To Make An American Quilt.
Yes, Billy! That’s it. A must watch. Please do it. I have the VHS tape. Imagine, VHS. YES, I have a VHS player. 🤣🤣
Lovely!
I've read or listened to The Elm Creek Quilt books. Love them!

I love following you 3! I wanted to comment on Elm Creek Quilts! I LOVE this series! Thanks for delving into so many topics!!
I love the “Yellowstone” quilt aka “Beth Dutton quilt”. It shows up in a bunch of places in the TV show!! Several people have made one.
Not only have many people made their own (hand raised here although I still have to quilt mine, LOL) but I've seen patterns of it and even finished quilts like it for sale on Etsy!
Love this podcast!
Ya'll are fantastic! Fun podcast 😍
I have the Santa panel, I would love to learn from you both on how to sew this panel. I have some 10 inch stackers of the fabric to make the blocks. Please share your process with us all. Thank you love watching you
The Elm Quilt series is fantastic! I have to admit that I didn’t think I would like the historical ones, but they are great too!
Marie Bostwick, author of the Cobblestone Quilt Book series, is another fantastic read! I've read Jennifer C. Books as well!
Ohh Chelsea!! The Sunshine village quilt is beautiful. I’m crazy about house quilts…. It’s going in my list!
Love the Sunshine village quilt, thinking it’s calling my name. Thanks for sharing all the info, I’ll be checking out the show/movies adorn a quilt/quilts. 👍❤️🙂
Love that quilt with all the houses! It's beautiful!😊❤

I read the Goodbye Quilt by Susan Wiggs in 2011. That is when I decided to learn to quilt. I haven't looked back.
Quilt of Souls is a beautiful book about a quilter in the early 1900s. I also love the ghost that was a ghost. Which is precious❤
Yes…please do the Swell Christmas sew along!! What a great idea! I have the kit and would love to sew along. Have a blessed rest of your week!
i am doing swell Christmas too. you have inspired me!

Really enjoyed watching today. Thank you for sharing. ❤🎉
I loved the Elm Creek Quilt series. Read every one and the latest one, (the 23rd) in the series. What enjoyable reading.

I also have read most of Jennifer Chiaverini quilt books. Loved the books and following the story about the two sisters life. Always looking for quilting books to read.
Hillary Doan (Jenny's daughter) writes mystery books that feature MSQC and revolve around quitling retreats etc. Very fun books.
I bought the Swell Christmas and Holly Jolly Urban Chicks quilt kits when they were released. I made both of them for Christmas gifts for my grandkids.

I need to read that book! Very familiar with Waterford, PA!
There is an episode in The Waltons titled The Quilting where Mary Ellen resists joining the women in her family in making a quilt for her. Great episode!!

I loved the Benni Harper series by Earlene Fowler. They incorporate quilting, folk arts, and mystery.
I went on a Quilter’s Cruise that Earlene Fowler was a special guest on.

If you like Mysteries, Bruce Leonard’s Quilt City Mysteries are great. They are set in Paducah! Hadley Carole is a quilter who solves mysteries.
I enjoyed listening to your time with your grandchildren, and I wonder how Chelsi gets it all done, but I also think as grandparents we are “ hyper-focused” on the kiddos when they are around. And , I will give up my quilting /stitching time to spend playing with my grandkids.

❤❤❤LOL. Sheri so funny when you were telling how long you had the grands. When you count down the time with 96 hours. 😊😊 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I got a laugh when she said that!😂
I love your moda blocks quilt! ❤❤❤
Love the Jennifer Chiaverini books!
Sandra Dallas's books are amazing
Loved the Elm Creek books. Another good series is the Benni Harper quilt mysteries by Earlene Fowler. Each book title is the name of a traditional quilt block.
I have read all the Jennifer Chiaverini novels, including her stand-alones that are not part of the Elm Creek Series. They are well worth the time. I highly recommend them to anyone interested in textile arts, not just quilters.
Love the Elm Creek Series books! There's a new book released just recently. And have also watched How to Make an American Quilt (more than once - lol)
You can't forget "The Babymaker" in the movie The Proposal. It is a beautiful quilt. Would love to make it.
Good job
Yes I read all of them. They were very good.
Don’t watch Hallmark movies anymore but many of the older ones had quilts and one had a Kim Diehl quilt on the back of the sofa. Heard a podcast about a lady that furnished quilts for movies and tv shows. When Elm Creek books first came out I read probably the first dozen in order. Also love Sandra Dallas books with or without quilts. Another great author that wrote about five books based on quilts is Emilie Richards. Highly recommend them.
Dream team ❤
I have that Swell & Sweet kits. It would be fun for a sew along or check-ins.
Yes she did ! Also her stand alone books are historical references to quilt making and family .
When you show your quilts on the table, they always seem to be made on point. Is this correct? If not, could you please also show them on “square”; or, the way you hang them or how they look on a bed? I would appreciate it. Your quilts are all so very beautiful. I’ve been “collecting” your fabrics for quite awhile😉😇❤️
Marie Bostwick also has a great series of books that center around quilting and the ups and downs of life and how quilters coming together to support one another keep us going.
I love the Carol Dean Jones quilting series books. (A quilting cozy) They are light mystery books very enjoyable.
Sherri I wanted you to take off your head phones so I could see your new hair color!! What little I could see of it it looks so beautiful!! Chelsi I ordered your house quilt! I love house blocks.
I love old westerns and there are ALWAYS quilts on the beds in them.
I also enjoy Marie Bostwick books which include quilt “scenes”.
Sherri I could never find the little pillow you showed last time that was a free pattern???
That's so funny Sherry because you used to do all that! How fast we forget that we raised kids when we see our kids raising kids
I read the whole Elm Creek series. She stopped writing them but just came up with a new one "The Museum Quilt".
Chelsi, those pincushion scrap bags are also cute on a shelf holding rolled up fat quarters/eights, or something cutsie for decoration.
Vikki, I scroll down a little bit to find the squared pin cushions. As Curry has them separated.
Sherri, I love your new look
Another great author, whose books involve quilts and quilters groups is Ann Hazelwood. She has written several series set in Missouri: Colebridge Coummunity has 7 books in the series, East Perry County has 5 books in the series, and Wine Country has 5 books in the series. Then she has a series set in Door County, WI, that had 5 books in the series. You can sometimes find a series boxed together in a set. I loved them all. Ann does a great job in her character development, which links the series together, and is what I truly loved.
I often see quilting designs in the backgrounds on the stage of comedy shows. The orange peel design is really popular.
Thank you! Had never heard that term before.
Ann Hazelwood also writes a quilt book series. I’ve read all of them. Recommend!!!
I point out quilts in each movie or show. I noticed quilts are in every good production.
Quilt Designer Karen Griska has a post on her "Selvedge" blog from back in 2011 called "Quilts In Movies" where people can record quilt sightings in movies and can still be added to today.

Q- could you please list the quilts on the ladders in the description box? Thank you
I've read some of the Elm Creek Quilt series several years ago before I started quilting. I recently reread the first book and plan to continue reading more but I am not a fan of historical stories. I prefer modern stories. How to make an American Quilt is one of my favorite movies.
I have read most of the Elm Creek Quilter's Series! They are so very interesting and they tell you about history of quilting and history behind the blocks! Also check out Earlene Fowler! I have the quilt book also, on my list of things to do!
Another good book series is the A Kilts and Quilts series by Patience Griffin.
I still have those Swell and Sweet fabrics think I have that panel too.
How to Make n American Quilt is a great movie! Winona Rider stars in it.
I feel lagoona sunrise kinda got robed With the strawberry lemonade making a reprint then the raspberry summer already showing in quilts. ❤❤❤❤❤
IS THERE A CHANCE I COULD GET THE NAME OF THE PANTOGRAPH USED ON THE SUNSHINE VILLAGE QUILT? IT’S LOVELY. THANKS
I've read eight of Jennifer Chiaverini's boooks - in fact I am almost finished with the latest called The Museum of Lost Quilts. I've read quite a few of Sandra Dallas also. All interesting quick reads.
I went to look at the thread catchers and they are not the same as yours. They look like bean bags, no boxed corners. Did you order yours specifically that way?
I caught the Ghostbusters reference…
What are strike offs?
They are the first print of each fabric for designers to double check before the full print run goes ahead. Kind of like a final double check.
Billy, your turn for school kids is coming???
Oh let me guess! Special guest Vanessa G?
Aunt Jane of Kentucky..don't remember the author.❤❤❤
