Readers of "The Quilter's Apprentice" and "Round Robin" have been
enchanted by "Elm Creek Quilt Camp, " where women gather each year
for quilting, friendship, and fun. The third in the Elm Creek
Quilts series introduces the "Cross-Country Quilters, " a group of
far-flung friends who pledge to complete a "challenge quilt" --
symbolic of each woman's personal goals -- in one year's time.
These five women arrive at Elm Creek Manor hoping to find in their
quilt lessons an escape from the problems they left at home. Julia,
an aging starlet, has pinned her hopes to a plum role in a
historical epic whose director is under the mistaken impression
that Julia already knows how to quilt. Megan is a successful
engineer who has won prizes for her miniature quilt designs. The
one challenge she has yet to master is single motherhood. Donna, a
mother of two, must hasten to teach her daughter independence and
self-esteem -- lessons she, too, must take to heart. Grace is a
renowned curator of antique quilts, whose creative flair is waning
for reasons she is unwilling to reveal -- even to her closest
friends. Vinnie, the senior member of the group, is a sunny soul
with a tragic past. Her overwhelming desire is to bring happiness
into the lives of those she loves.
Although the Cross-Country Quilters share a common creative goal,
as the year goes by their bonds are tested by the demands of daily
life. But despite differences in age, race, and background, the
friends' love for quilting and affection for one another unite them
in a patchwork of caring and acceptance. The quilt they make
reminds them of an everlasting truth -- friends may be separated by
great distance, yet the strength of their bond can transcend any
obstacle.
