The Lost Quilter: An ELM Creek Quilts Novel - Paperback
by Jennifer Chiaverini (Author)
Jennifer Chiaverini's bestselling Elm Creek Quilts series continues as Master Quilter Sylvia Bergstrom Compson's exploration of her ancestry reveals unexpected connections between herself and long-lost visitor to Elm Creek Manor.
Master Quilter Sylvia Bergstrom Compson treasures a remarkable heirloom known as Birds in the Air, the Runaway Quilt, and the Elm Creek Quilt--each name honoring the woman who created it. That quilter was Joanna, a fugitive slave who traveled by the Underground Railroad to reach safe haven in 1859 at Elm Creek Farm. Though Joanna was captured and forcibly returned to a plantation in Virginia, she left the Bergstrom family a most precious gift: her son. The Bergstrom family raised the boy as their own, and the secret of his identity died with their generation. Now it falls to Sylvia--drawing upon an old family diary and Joanna's quilt--to connect Joanna's past to present-day Elm Creek Manor. Deftly weaving together Joanna's harrowing story and acts of bravery with Sylvia's present-day determination to uncover the truth, The Lost Quilter is a moving testament to resilience, love, and the power of art to carry freedom's promise across time.Made with care and unconditionally loved by our customers, this signature bestseller exceeds all expectations.
