Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When precious heirloom quilts hand-stitched by her mother turn up missing from the attic of Elm Creek Manor, Sylvia Bergstrom Compson resolves to find them. From scant resources-journal entries, receipts, and her own fading memories-she pieces together clues, then queries quilting friends from around the world. When dozens of leads arrive via the Internet, Sylvia and her fiance, Andrew, embark on a nationwide investigation of antique shops and quilt museums. Sylvia's quest leads her to unexpected places, where offers of assistance are not always what they seem. As the search continues, revelations surface about her mother, who died when Sylvia was only a child. Burdened with poor health and distant parents, Eleanor Lockwood defies her family by marrying for love. Far from her Manhattan home, she embraces her new life among the Bergstroms-but although warmth and affection surround Eleanor at last, the Bergstroms cannot escape the tragedies of their times. As Sylvia recovers some of the missing quilts and accepts others as lost forever, she reflects on the woman her mother was, and mourns the woman she never knew. For every woman who has yearned to know the untold story of her mother's life, and for every mother who has longed to be heard, THE QUILTER'S LEGACY will resonate with heartfelt honesty as it reveals what tenuous connections bind the generations, and celebrates the love that sustains them.

Book excerpt: Winner, Violet Crown Award, Writers’ League of Texas, 2008 For more than a decade, Marcia Kaylakie traveled Texas from the Panhandle to Big Bend country, from the Piney Woods to the Gulf, discovering thousands of quilts in towns from Alpine to Austin, Dimmitt to Dallas, and myriad other Texas communities large and small. Hidden away in closets, trunks, and attics, the quilts Kaylakie found are not only heirlooms but also, owing to their histories, irreplaceable emblems of Texas heritage. This book showcases thirty-four quilts. Through them and their stories, the cultural development of the state unfolds. Most will never be exhibited or appear in any other permanent record. All Texas-made, they span the state geographically and range from the 1870s to the turn of the twenty-first century. As examples of what Texas quilting was and is as craft—and as cultural narrative—these quilts preserve a unique and compelling aspect of Texas history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ninth book in Jennifer Chiaverini's bestselling series—when two of Elm Creek Quilts’ founding members decide to leave the fold, who can possibly take their place in the circle of quilters? When Elm Creek Quilts announces openings for two new teachers, quilters everywhere are vying to land the prestigious post. The impending departure of two founding members means untold changes for the Elm Creek Quilters. As they begin the interview process, a single question emerges: Who can possibly take the place of beloved colleagues and friends? "We must evaluate all of the applicants' qualities," advises Master Quilter Sylvia Compson. "Our choice will say as much about us as it says about who we decide to hire." Who merits a place among the circle of quilters? Will it be Maggie, whose love of history shines through in all her projects; Anna, whose food-themed quilts are wonderfully innovative; Russ, the male quilter with a completely original style; Karen, a novice teacher whose gifts for language complement her deep understanding of the quilters' mission; or Gretchen, the soulful veteran whose craft is inspired by quilting tradition?

Book excerpt: Lizzy Albright and the Attic WindowSummaryThe mage council in the Kingdom of Ailear is up in arms over a sorceress who has assembled an army of grackles. She is invincible. They decide their highest priority is to find a missing princess that was taken to another world far away.It's Christmas Eve 1964 and Lizzy Albright is celebrating her 10th birthday with her family in Overland Park, Kansas. Later that day the family make a journey to Cordelia, Kansas to spend Christmas week in the old family mansion with Lizzy's granny, Esther McHale.That night, Lizzy discovers an old quilt in a secret drawer of the cedar chest in the attic. The names of the quilt blocks spark her imagination. She is allowed to sleep under the quilt but is awoken by a tapping noise. She discovers a goose outside the attic window as a winter storm is raging. The goose urges Lizzy to come with her because their kingdom has befallen a curse. The goose believes that Lizzy is the lost princess and is the only one who can break the curse.In the Kingdom of Ailear, we learn that Calixta, a sorceress, and Beatrice, the queen, are related. Beatrice is barren and desperately wants a child. Calixta assists by making a fertility potion, with the caveat that Queen Beatrice's first grandchild is handed over to the sorceress.Beatrice has her child and years pass. The royal grandchild is born, Beatrice has schemed to betray Calixta by sending the child with a goose through the Tunnel of Stars. The sorceress returns and puts the Groaning Stone Curse on the castle and its inhabitants and informs everyone that the only one who can reverse the curse is the royal child.For ten years the mages are doing what they must in order to find the child, but also find a way to save her from the hands of the sorceress. The plot ultimately succeeds and the kingdom is saved. There are unexpected plot twists that are revealed during the final chapters of the story.Ricky Tims - Kat Bowser 2020
