In The Quilter’s Legacy, Eleanor makes this quilt as a twentieth anniversary gift for her husband, Frederick, as an expression of all that she loved best about the natural beauty of the Bergstrom family estate. The pattern for “Elms and Lilacs” appears in my second pattern book, Return to Elm Creek (C&T Publishing, 2004).
Hand appliquéd by June Pease, quilted by Deb Randall, 2003.
