I love reading and I always like to try new types of books, as well as new authors. As a result of this  I started a BOOK CLUB for QUILTERS, back in 2018. During a few months, when I was too busy, another quilter stepped in and selected the books, but I have been back selecting books for a while now.  Every month a quilting related book is selected and posted on our website, ukqu.co.uk , around the 20th of the month before. This is to allow everyone plenty of time to get hold of the books as sometimes they are only available second hand. There are quite a few prolific quilting novel writers with Jennifer Chiaverini probably the most well-known. We have only picked one of her books for the book club, as there are so many others who are less well known.  During the last two years we have read books by a wide variety of authors. The complete list is below; The Last Runaway  by  Tracy Chevalier  ( info ) Sew Deadly  by  Elizabeth Lynn Casey...

It is almost a year since I kicked off the UKQO Book Club with Tracy Chevalier's The Runaway and arranged for us to work with British Patchwork and Quilting to announce the books. After I had selected the books for the first three months, Arlene was kind enough to carry my late-night idea forward for a few months, but recently she's had to focus on other things and we put the Book Club on hold. The books selected during 2018 were; April:  The Last Runaway , Tracy Chevalier -  my review May:  Sew Deadly , Elizabeth Lynn Casey -  my review June:  The forgotten seamstress , Liz Trenow -  my review July:  The quilter’s apprentice , Jennifer Chiaveverinu (selected by Arlene) August:  Alias Grace , Margaret Attwood (selected by Arlene) September:  To Scotland with love , Patience Griffin (selected by Arlene) October:  Quilt as desired , Arlene Sachitao (selected by Arlene) November:  Happenstance ,...
