Jennifer Chiaverini’s beloved and bestselling Elm Creek Quilts
series returns with the first Elm Creek Quilts novel since 2019’s
The Christmas Boutique. Summer Sullivan, the youngest founding
member of Elm Creek Quilts, has spent the last two years pursuing a
master’s degree in history at the University of Chicago. Her
unexpected return home to the celebrated quilter’s retreat is met
with delight but also concern from her mother, Gwen; her best
friend, Sarah; master quilter Sylvia; and her other
colleagues—and rightly so. Stymied by writer’s block, Summer
hasn’t finished her thesis, and she can’t graduate until she
does. Elm Creek Manor offers respite while Summer struggles to meet
her extended deadline. She finds welcome distraction in organizing
an exhibit of antique quilts as a fundraiser to renovate Union
Hall, the 1863 Greek Revival headquarters of the Waterford
Historical Society. But Summer’s research uncovers startling
facts about Waterford’s past, prompting unsettling questions
about racism, economic injustice, and political corruption within
their community, past and present. As Summer’s work progresses,
quilt lovers and history buffs praise the growing collection, but
affronted local leaders demand that she remove all references to
Waterford’s troubled history. As controversy threatens the
exhibit’s success, Summer fears that her pursuit of the truth
might cost the Waterford Historical Society their last chance to
save Union Hall. Her only hope is to rally the quilting community
to her cause. The Museum of Lost Quilts is a warm and deeply moving
story about the power of collective memory. With every fascinating
quilt she studies, Summer finds her passion for history
renewed—and discovers a promising new future for herself.
