Item #: 342085

Celebrating the 25th anniversary of this bestselling series, Jennifer Chiaverini invites readers back with a novel that explores the power of memory and the enduring bonds of community. 

The latest installment in the beloved Elm Creek Quilts series, The Museum of Lost Quilts. Join Sylvia, Sarah, Summer, and cherished friends at Elm Creek Manor for a heartwarming tale of friendship, resilience, and the art of quilting.

Set in June 2004, the story follows Summer Sullivan, a founding Elm Creek Quilter, as she returns to the retreat with a daunting challenge.

Struggling to complete her master's thesis, Summer hopes the creative environment of Elm Creek Manor will reignite her inspiration. She becomes involved in a fundraising project to renovate Union Hall, focusing on an exhibit of historically significant quilts.

As she uncovers the quilts' stories, Summer faces resistance from local leaders who wish to erase references to Waterford's troubled past. With the exhibit's success at stake, Summer must rally the quilting community to preserve history.

Within this touching narrative of friendship and quilting, The Museum of Lost Quilts addresses the deep-seated issues of racism and the ongoing dialogue around historical accountability and reconciliation.

Chiaverini's series continues to enchant loyal fans and welcomes new readers to a world where quilting is a testament to the strength and unity of women.

Since her debut novel, The Quilter’s Apprentice, Chiaverini has captivated audiences with stories that intertwine quilting with cultural and historical narratives.
