Check in with Eula, Bess, Florence, Dorothy and Emmeline...

Join the Story Guild with a paid membership today and we'll mail you a four-pack of postcards featuring vintage Thanksgiving magazine covers. Better still, you'll be able to download an audiobook of the second book in the Friendship Album series, Forget-Me-Not! The Quilt Fiction Story Guild is the place for quilters who love to read, and especially love quilt stories. (p.s. It's also the friendliest place on the internet.)

Answers to some frequently asked questions.

Thanks for asking. Friendship Album, 1933, a whopping 535-page novel set in the fictional town of Milton Falls, Ohio, was read as a work-in-progress during the first session of the Quilt Fiction Podcast. It's now included in the archives here. The archives are available to paid Story Guild members.

It's also possible that you are inquiring about the book we're calling Friendship Album, 1934. It's currently being read on the private podcast available only to Story Guild members.

Both books will eventually be available in printed paperback-, ebook- and audiobook-form through the normal sales channels.

Yes! There is still a Quilt Fiction podcast available through all the normal podcast services. Previous seasons of the podcast, however, are removed once the books we read go into production to be sold through normal sales channels.

In the current iteration of the podcast, there are still stories and plenty of talk about Milton Falls, but works-in-progress are no longer read in their entirety.

New works-in-progress are now shared on a private podcast available as part of the premium Story Guild membership on this site.
