Another book by Jennifer Chiaverini was gifted to me. This time by my sister in law. She sent a signed edition of the first book in the Elm Creek Quilter's series: The Quilter's Apprentice. As with the other book by Jennifer Chiaverini that I recently read it is a clean cut delightful story of the relationships that women struggle with between family and friends and those that can develop among women who quilt. This is also the story of the founding of the artist colony that becomes Elm's Creek Quilts which is the basis of the entire series. The author weaves a story of family history, a story of the history of a home, and the story of a community from immigration, through the Second World War and into the mid 1990s. I am sure that I will eventually finish this series. Please click on the author's name and book title above to follow the links to more information and enjoy the video that follows. Although the video features another book in the series, the author also explains the series in general.
