The Wedding Quilt: An Elm Creek Quilts Novel

By Jennifer Chiaverini

Book Overview

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.

Pretty good

It was surprising to read this book is 25 yrs in the future of the last one. Almost feels like it should have been the last in the series because of that. Loved hearing what everyone had been up to, but alot of the backstory had already told to anyone who's read the series and this felt like alot of the book. I started to skik over those parts....Otherwise I enjoyed it.
