he ninth novel in Jennifer Chiaverini's much-loved Elm Creek
Quilts series is a beautifully crafted patchwork of
friendship, romance, and suspense.
Elm Creek Quilts, the thriving artists' retreat at Elm Creek
Manor, stakes its sterling reputation on the creative energy
and collective goodwill of its teachers and students. But
when two of its founding members decide to leave the fold,
the Elm Creek Quilters face untold changes not only in their
lifestyle but also in their business. As the news spreads, a
single question emerges: Who can possibly take their place?
An Elm Creek Quilter must not only possess mastery of
quilting technique, but teaching experience, a sense of
humor, and that intangible quality that allows an individual
to blend harmoniously into a group. With high hopes, Elm
Creek Quilts posts an open call for applicants.
Suddenly, quilters everywhere are vying to land the
prestigious post. Among the candidates are Maggie, whose
love of history shines through in all her projects; Chef
Anna, whose food-themed quilts are wonderfully innovative;
Russ, the male quilter whose pathbreaking style could lend
Elm Creek Quilts an intriguing aesthetic departure; Karen, a
novice teacher whose preternatural gifts complement her deep
understanding of the quilters' mission; Gretchen, the
soulful veteran with a legacy steeped in traditions quilting.
"We must evaluate all of the applicants' qualities," advises
Master Quilter Sylvia Compson. "Our choice will say as much
about us and what we want for Elm Creek Quilts as it says
about those we decide to hire." In the course of the
members' careful deliberations, cherished memories resurface
and inspiring visions for the future take shape. Only by
understanding the meaning of what their own labors have
wrought can they select the ones who have earned a place
among the Circle of Quilters.
