UKQU BOOK CLUB 6 years, 11 months agoPam,
Thank you for taking the time to comment; it’s good to know that others are reading the books too!
I am trying to pick a wide range of books, so some months may not be to your liking.
I have just downloaded the Linda Gillard book to my Kindle, thank you for the suggestion.

Juliet Nice wrote a new post, A Saucy Little Retreat…. 7 years ago
One of the best things about UK Quilters United on Facebook, is how it brings quilters together in real life (the outernet!) instead of just the internet.
Whether you are looking for a friend for ‘cuppa and sew’,…

See you at the Blogtreat.

Denham is a great venue for a retreat, I have been there twice with Avril’s group. Some amazing quilts your group has made there! Love your flowerpot and Rainbow. So pleased you enjoyed it, and like Lyn I can’t wait to meet everyone again at the Bloggerati retreat in November!

What amazing quilts and sounds like a great time was had by all.

Always a pleasure to meet fellow quilters and our group ” Barclay Quilters” have been up and running for years with 3 successful retreats per year. Lovely to have met Juliet, if only from a distance just in case she spied my mini quilt…….

Fabulous. I love our annual trips to Paignton with my quilting group and this year I have a lovely trip up to Derbyshire to look forward to in July. Like many, with work and tutoring I don’t get much time to stitch myself, so a few days away just for stitching is a real treat.

UKQU BOOK CLUB 7 years agoRosemarie, I promise you that not all of the books will be part of a series, so you’ll hopefully have some ‘free’ time in the months to come! Glad you have enjoyed the books so far.

UKQU BOOK CLUB 7 years, 1 month agoThanks Pam! Having canvassed interest a year ago, it just seemed such a shame not to continue with a book club. I may be less skilled at leading any discussions, but the Forum is here if anyone would like to discuss the books.
Agree regarding the story; a bit predictable and over-simplistic, but still enjoyable.
