A Night with Jennifer Chiaverini
Wednesday
night Bestselling author Jennifer Chiaverini made another stop on her tour for The Giving Quilt. I am a little new to the Elm Creek Quilter
series and was interested in learning more about this bestselling series, which
include quilter books with the specific patterns from her books.
The Giving
Quilt also involves the project Linus which provides quilts for families of
soldiers dispatched overseas.
Synopsis:
“Why do you
give?” asks Master Quilter Sylvia Bergstrom Compson Cooper in The Giving Quilt,
the New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Chiaverini’s artful, inspiring
novel that imagines what good would come from practicing the holiday spirit
each and every day of the year.
At Elm Creek
Manor, the week after Thanksgiving is “Quiltsgiving,” a time to commence a
season of generosity. From near and far, quilters and aspiring quilters—a
librarian, a teacher, a college student, and a quilt-shop clerk among them—gather
for a special winter session of quilt camp, to make quilts for Project Linus.
(In real life, Chiaverini has long been active in this charitable organization,
dedicated to providing handmade quilts and blankets to children in need.)
Each quilter,
ever mindful that many of her neighbors, friends, and family members are
struggling through difficult times, uses her creative gifts to alleviate their
collective burden. As the week unfolds, the quilters respond to Sylvia’s
provocative question in ways as varied as the life experiences that drew them
to Elm Creek Manor. Love and comfort are sewn into the warm, bright, beautiful
quilts they stitch, and their stories collectively consider the strength of
human connection and its rich rewards.” Amazon.com
