I read the two follow-up books as well - they were good, but I liked the
first one best. I just picked up The Water And The Blood - also by Nancy
Turner. Hopefully it'll be as good as the others.

These Is My Words is one of my all time favorite books. I've read Sarah's
Quilt & Star Garden & really enjoyed them as well, but These Is My Words is
the best, in my opinion.
Have read ALL of Sandra Dallas books - I always enjoy them. I thought Tall
Grass was a departure from her other books - but it was a great book as
well.

The only one I read was the Persian Pickle Club. Loved it.

I've read most of her books. Persian Pickle Club was my favorite!

I met her at the ALA Midwinter Meeting in Denver last January. She
was charming. She said that she didn't set out to write books for
quilters, but she soon found that the 'demographic' for whom she
writes happens to include quiltmakers, and quiltmakers are readers,
and she's found out how large that audience is.
