A good read

Good, if predictable, story. Well written and good detail. I am not a quilter, but this story did make me want to see what it is all about, and to know what happens next.

Enjoyable Read

I’ve never read anything by this author before. But I will definitely start buying them. Truly enjoyed every minute of this book. Great characters and a really nice story. I learned a lot about quilting! Which was definitely a plus. Would recommend this book to anyone looking for a really nice story of forgiveness and friendship! Already bought the next book.

Elm Creek Quilt book 1

What made the experience of listening to The Quilter's Apprentice the most enjoyable?

I enjoyed the characters and how learning to quilt was explained. For myself I quilt and found I wanted to be more knowledgable in the history of quilting after reading this book.
Looking forward to #2.

What did you like best about this story?

Characters reveal that they could have done things differently. Having choices.

What does Christina Moore bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Voice tones, how Sylvia was crabby in the beginning. Sarah was always talking, saying too much.

This is a delightful women's novel!

There is a large cast of very well developed characters. I loved meeting Sarah, Matt, and Sylvia. They are the main characters that are central and the rest of the cast fills in around them. I found it very interesting to see how they met and their friendship developed over the course of the story.

Sylvia is a master quilter and it was fascinating for me to read all the details about how a quilt is made. The descriptions of the different quilt blocks captivated me. I have never tried quilting but I love looking at quilts.

I loved the narrator for this audio book. She did a marvelous job of changing her voice for the different characters. It made it very easy to keep listening and losing myself in the story.

Awesome Story

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

Yes I would recommend this book to anyone who loves an interesting story about families and history. I have always loved quilts since I was a little girl and actually learned some things from this story. Very heart warming and entertaining.

Learned a good bit about the art of quilting!

Enjoyable story. Mostly female dialogue which the narrator does well. Male voice not so well!
