Elm Creek Quilts Read Kindle PreviewA timely celebration of quilting, family, community, and history in this latest novel in the perennially popular Elm Creek Quilts series from New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Chiaverini. As fall paints the Pennsylvania countryside in flaming colors, Sylvia Bergstrom Compson is contemplating the future of her beloved Elm Creek Quilts. The Elm Creek Quilt Camp remains the most popular quilterβs retreat in the country, but unexpected financial difficulties have beset them and the Bergstrom familyβs stately nineteenth-century manor. Now in her eighth decade, Sylvia is determined to maintain her familyβs legacy, but she needs new resourcesβfinancial and emotional. Summer Sullivanβa founding Elm Creek Quilterβarrives to discuss an antique quilt that she wants to display at the Waterford Historical Societyβs quilt exhibit. When Sylvia and her sister Claudia were teenagers, they had entered a quilt in the Sears National Quilt Contest for the 1933 Century of Progress Exposition, also known as the Chicago Worldβs Fair. The Bergstrom sistersβ quilt would be perfect for the Historical Societyβs exhibit, Summer explains. Sylvia is reluctant to lend out the quilt, which has been stored in the attic for decades, nearly forgotten. In keeping with the contestβs βCentury of Progressβ theme, the girls illustrated progress of valuesβscenes of the Emancipation Proclamation, womanβs suffrage, and labor unions. But although it won ribbons, the quilt also drove a wedge between the sisters. As Sylvia reluctantly retraces her quiltβs story for Summer, she makes an unexpected discoveryβone that restores some of her faith in this unique work of art, and helps shine some light on a way forward for the Elm Creek Quilts community.
