Quilters’ Books Evolve into a Series

Quilter/writers often plan a series of books, or find their initial book is evolving into a number of them, one leading to the next. Jennifer Chiaverini has done this with the Elm Creek Quilts series, developing pattern and recipe books in addition to her novels.
I’ve discovered that The Quiltmaker’s Gift is followed by pattern books.
When I wrote an initial post about the children’s story book, The Quiltmaker’s Gift, I didn’t realize the interest it eventually would evoke. One reader of Quilting and Patchwork asked where she might find fabric with related designs on it, so I sent out her request in a post, Fabric to Represent Story Books, Particularly The Quiltmaker’s Gift.
Then I discovered there were books with quilt patterns to accompany the picture book and wrote about them in Follow-up Books for the Quiltmaker’s Gift.
