This is my favorite book and story by far.

Beautifully written, and beautifully told. I was sad when it was over. I wanted more.

A lovely book for quilters!

What a lovely story this was. I didn’t expect much thinking that the quilting theme was going to overpower the story. But it was a lovely story with great characters and if you are a quilter you will really enjoy how quilts were ‘sewn’ into the story. Enjoy!

Wonderfully Delightful!!!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

As a new quilter myself I found this book to be very inspirational.

Any additional comments?

I plan on listening to the entire series after how much i enjoyed this one.

enjoyed completely

If you could sum up The Quilter's Apprentice in three words, what would they be?

A really good listen

What other book might you compare The Quilter's Apprentice to and why?

I think I will enjoy this series as much as I did the Benni Harper series by Earlene Fowler, even without the mystery.

Have you listened to any of Christina Moore’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No

If you could rename The Quilter's Apprentice, what would you call it?

Like the name!

Any additional comments?

As a long-time quilter, I enjoyed the gentle instruction woven into the fabric of the story.The reader did a fine job of keeping the characters separate. I could "see" them while I listened.I am looking forward to the other books in this series.

great story

I really enjoyed the story and the narrator. the characters and content were well put together
