loved this book! Having never read any of the Archers Rest series, I was quickly reminded of Jan Karon's Mitford series of books (which I read each and every one of, multiple times!). I love that all the books are based on a quilt pattern, and that it is incorporated into the story. What a unique idea! I also loved how the story was so modern, with an Iraqi war vet as one of the central characters. The cathedral windows pattern is intricate, VERY time consuming, and made of ordinary fabrics, yet it is an amazing piece when finished. Much like how the characters of Archer's Rest all come together and make their community a place you would want to live in!

Check out a version of the pattern, that is easy to accomplish, as it's only on a pillow top! Gorgeous, right?

This was another charming read for the holiday season and I am glad it was offered to me to read- now I just need to get the other books!. The books would be delightful for Christmas gifts to any quilt lovers/makers among your family and friends!
