THE GIVING QUILT

The novel unfolds in a chapter for each day of quilt camp that collectively consider the strength of human connection and giving, and its rich rewards.

At Elm Creek Manor, the week after Thanksgiving is “Quiltsgiving,” a time to commence a season of generosity. From near and far, quilters and aspiring quilters gather for a special winter session of quilt camp to make quilts for Project Linus. Each quilter, ever mindful that many of her neighbors, friends, and family members are struggling through difficult times, uses her creative gifts to alleviate their collective burden. Jennifer Chiaverini is the New York Times best-selling author of the Elm Creek Quilts series, including Sonoma Rose, The Union Quilters and The Wedding Quilt, and four collections of quilt projects inspired by her novels. Sonoma Rose debuted at #9 on the list and has netted almost 37,000 copies since its February 21st publication. The Union Quilters debuted at #7 on the list and netted over 56,000 copies in hardcover. She is also the designer of the Elm Creek Quilts fabric lines from Red Rooster Fabrics.
