In The New Year’s Quilt, Sylvia hopes to win over her reluctant daughter-in-law with the gift of a quilt, and the truths quilting reveals about the bonds of love and family. As Sylvia stitches the blocks, each one reminds her of the holiday traditions of Elm Creek Manor, celebrating generations past and offering hope for her new family’s future.
Machine pieced and appliquéd by Jennifer Chiaverini using fabrics from “Elm Creek Quilts: The New Year’s Quilt Collection” from Red Rooster Fabrics, machine quilted by Sue Vollbrecht, 2007.
