I think she scored 100 on her new book a quilt for christmas.
The christmas quilt is one of many in the elm creek quilt series by jeniffer chiaverini.
In fact even though it rehashes things from previous books chiaverini describes all incidences within the book well enough that no reference from the firs seven are needed.
