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. 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.
ROUND ROBIN reunites readers with the Elm Creek Quilters in
this poignant and heartwarming follow-up to The Quilter's
Apprentice, Jennifer Chiaverini's acclaimed debut novel.
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. But
like the most delicate cross-stitch, their lives are held
together by the most tenuous threads of happiness ... and
they can unravel.
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.
