Posted in In The Readers Den
The Elm Creek Quilters have begun a round robin ... a quilt created by sewing concentric patchwork to a central block as it is passed around a circle of friends. Led by Sarah McClure, who came to Waterford, Pennsylvania, with her husband, Matt, a few years ago, the project is to be their gift to their beloved fellow quilter Sylvia Compson.
As each woman confronts a personal crisis, a painful truth, or a life-changing choice, the quilt serves as a symbol of the complex and enduring bonds between mothers and daughters, sisters and friends. In weaving together the harmonious, disparate pieces of their crazy-quilt lives, the Elm Creek Quilters come to realize that friendship is one of the most precious gifts we can give each other, and that love can strengthen understanding, lead to new beginnings, and illuminate our lives.
Another winner in the second of a series for Jennifer Chiaverini. I honestly don't know what took me so long to start this recommended series. I absolutely have fallen inlove with the characters, women, who are from all walks of life and experiences, who by circumstances of their own, become close-knit with other women of same interests. It's honestly amazing how Jennifer depicted the compassion, dedication, fun-loving, yet dramatic women in close-knit groups and turned them into fictional characters. Bravo Ms. Chiaverini for another book well written. I look forward to the next in the series.
