Round Robin An Elm Creek Quilts Novel

The Daily News called The Quilter's Apprentice "a terrific story about healing and forgiveness." Round Robin is Jennifer Chiaverini's poignant and heartwarming follow-up to her acclaimed debut novel-a continuing tale of friendship and loyalty, and the ways in which we stitch our lives together, piece by imperfect piece. She chose green and blue for the colors of Elm Creek Manor. She chose blue for truth and green for new beginnings... 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, PA, 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.Chiaverini, Jennifer is the author of 'Round Robin An Elm Creek Quilts Novel' with ISBN 9780452282278 and ISBN 0452282276.
