Book Review: The Master Quilter

The Master Quilter is book six in the Elm Creek Quilts series by Jennifer Chiaverini. We return to the same characters we've encountered before. The quilters are all attempting to surprise the newlywed Sylvia Bergstrom Compson with a wedding quilt. They request contributions from quilters far and wide. They store these quilt blocks at Bonnie's local quilt shop. Mystery is afoot when someone robs the quilt shop and steals the quilt blocks for Sylvia's quilt. Keeping secrets is tough and can sometimes cause more trouble than expected. 

This book is told in a different format, diving into separate perspectives of the story. Yet, the reader is once again provided a clean story full of interesting characters, commentary on quilting, and a well-paced plot. After hearing about the expensive digital Bernina sewing machine, I had to chuckle when I saw a used one on Craigslist listed at $4200. If I hadn't read this book, I may have thought the seller was out of their mind to place such a high price on used goods. Now, I know the true value of such a machine.
