Item #: 982036
This heartwarming story of quilting and friendship is set to become a holiday favorite.
Twenty years after the debut of The Quilter’s Apprentice, Jennifer Chiaverini returns with The Christmas Boutique: An Elm Creek Quilts Novel.
Just weeks before Christmas, a storm damages the church hall hosting the Christmas Boutique, an annual fundraiser for the county food pantry. Sylvia Bergstrom Compson steps in, offering Elm Creek Manor as the new venue.
The Elm Creek Quilters, in the spirit of the season, transform the manor into a festive marketplace, showcasing their cherished quilts that evoke memories of past holidays and dreams of future ones.
But while the Elm Creek Quilters work tirelessly to make sure the Christmas Boutique happens, it may take a holiday miracle or two to make it the smashing success they want it to be.
Praised for its "wonderful holiday mix of family legacy, reconciliation, and shared experiences" (Tucson Citizen), this novel is a festive addition to the Elm Creek Quilts series.
