Introduction by Jennifer Chiaverini-read about how the Elm Creek Quilts novels got started

Jennifer Chiaverini started quilting as a newlywed, wanting to begin her marriage with an heirloom quilt. She is the author of The Quilter's Apprentice, Round Robin, Cross Country Quilters, and The Runaway Quilt, which comprise the Elm Creek Quilts novels from Simon & Schuster. Jennifer lives in Madison, Wisconsin. Nancy Odom is a popular quilt designer, teacher, author, and the creator of Quilter's Gloves. She made her first quilt at the age of 17 and credits her grandmother with passing along her love of quilting. Nancy lives just outside Indianapolis, Indiana.

Library Journal

Chiaverini is the author of a popular series of novels with a common quilting theme, and here she offers a pattern book of quilting projects inspired by characters and events in the "Elm Creek" series. Working with quilt designer and teacher Odom, Chiaverini has put together an interesting selection of quilting projects inspired by the first four novels: The Quilter's Apprentice, Round Robin, Cross-Country Quilters, and The Runaway Quilt. Projects include a variety of pieced and appliqued quilts with step-by-step instructions and full-sized templates where necessary. Reading the novels is not a prerequisite for making the quilts pictured, but they will take on deeper meaning for those familiar with the books. Recommended for public library quilting collections.
