The Quilter's Legacy An Elm Creek Quilts Novel

When precious heirloom quilts hand-stitched by her mother, Eleanor Lockwood, 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—Sylvia pieces together clues, then queries quilting friends from around the world. Sylvia and her fiancé, Andrew, embark on a cross-country investigation of antique shops and quilt museums, a quest that leads her to unexpected places where offers of assistance are not always what they seem. As she searches for the missing quilts, revelations surface about her mother, who died when Sylvia was only a child. The story illuminates Eleanor's life at the turn of the last century, revealing how she defied her distant Manhattan family to marry for love and embrace a new life at the Bergstroms' Pennsylvania horse farm. 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.
