The Wedding Quilt - (ELM Creek Quilts Novel) by Jennifer Chiaverini (Paperback)

About the Book

Meditating on the weddings she has attended in Elm Creek Manor throughout the years, Sarah McClure evaluates the symbolic features on a wedding quilt designed to display the signatures of beloved guests.

Book Synopsis

The New York Times bestseller celebrates one of America's most romantic and enduring traditions

As her daughter's wedding day approaches, Sarah McClure reflects upon Elm Creek brides past and present--the traditions they honored, the legacies they bequeathed, the wedding quilts that contain their stories in every stitch.

Unexpectedly, Caroline confides, "I wish I had a wedding quilt, one I made myself." Sarah yearns to grant her fervent wish, but even the most talented novice would be daunted by the task of stitching, mere days before the wedding, a worthy symbol of the couple's bonds of love, commitment, trust, and hope for the future. Turning to her cherished friends, the Elm Creek Quilters, Sarah asks them to pool their creative gifts. As the women stitch, their memories render a vivid pastiche of family, friendship, and love in all its varieties.
