A Quilter's Holiday by Jennifer Chiaverini

This is a quick read about the quilters of Elm Creek. I have read all of this series and they are all interesting and enjoyable. This one was perfectly timed. I read it over Thanksgiving weekend and it mostly takes place on the day after Thanksgiving. That is the day which one of the quilters refers to as the official beginning of quilt season! At Elm Creek the friends ignore Black Friday and instead gather to quilt. Most are working on Christmas presents. At noon they stop for a potluck lunch - the rule is that it has to be a leftover from Thanksgiving. During the day there are updates on on-going stories from previous books and also flashbacks to past holidays. A nice gentle read!
