Publisher's Note

The New York Times bestselling Elm Creek Quilts series continues, with a novel that celebrates one of America's most romantic and enduring traditions.

Sarah McClure arrived at Elm Creek Manor as a newlywed, never suspecting that her quilting lessons with master quilter Sylvia Bergstrom Compson would inspire the successful and enduring business Elm Creek Quilts, whose members have nurtured a circle of friendship spanning generations.

The Wedding Quilt opens as the wedding day of Sarah's daughter Caroline approaches. As Sarah has learned, a union celebrates not only the betrothed couple's passage into wedlock, but also the contributions of those who have made the bride and groom the unique people they are. Thus Sarah's thoughts are filled with brides of Elm Creek Manor past and present-the traditions they honored, the legacies they bequeathed, and the wedding quilts that contain their stories in every stitch.

A wedding quilt is a powerful metaphor: of sisterhood, of community, of hope for the future. The blocks in Caroline's wedding quilt will display the signatures of beloved guests. As the Elm Creek Quilters circulate amid the festive preparations with pens and fabric in hand, memories of the Manor-and of the women who have lived there, in happiness and in sorrow-spill forth, rendering a vivid pastiche of family, friendship, and love in all its varieties.



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

This is one of jennifer's best novels. A real girlie book which dispenses with the demise of one of the main characters in a very sensitive and gentle way.

As usual we get an insight into the lives of all the Elm Creek Quilters from the last book to keep us up to date with our, by now firm friends.

I can strongly recommend this book - I just couldn't put it down.

I have read all of the books in the Elm Creek Quilts series.
I love them all. Would have loved to be there with these
gals! This last book gives more history of the characters
from past books. You can pick this one up and not have read
any others and be "in the know". Sometimes I have had
to refer back to earlier books to know the characters' previous backgrounds. I have never been disappointed in any one of the books.

Recommend having read earlier books in the series before reading this one. This title takes us to the next generation of ECQ's as they prepare for the wedding of Matt and Sara's daughter. There is much reflection on times past. A great read for fans of ECQ (it is # 18)
