The Giving Quilt

An Elm Creek Quilts Novel

By: Jennifer Chiaverini

Narrated by: Christina Moore

Jennifer Chiaverini's Elm Creek Quilts novels are as lovingly crafted and heartwarming as the homemade quilts featured prominently in each story. The milestone 20th entry in this charming series, The Giving Quilt chronicles the week after Thanksgiving- Quiltsgiving- as residents of Elm Creek Manor find creative ways to answer the question, ''Why do you give?''

stick to the story line.

I prefer she sticks with Elm Creek characters rather than run​. all over the civil war, etc. was a distraction and an interruption several times. because of this I would not choose this author again.

It gave to me

After reading all of the Elm Creek series, and the last last one in particular, which gave a picture of the characters' lives 20 is years in the future, I was leery when ordering another. Chiaverini did an excellent job though adding new characters who each had a story to tell. I stayed with the story and was not disappointed.

The Title Gives Hint

Any additional comments?

I have read almost all of the Jennifer Chiaverini "Quilters" books and I have thoroughly enjoyed ALL of them. Prior to purchasing this audio book, I read several of the reviews, the latest few were not very impressed with this book, calling it preachy, etc. I can't say I necessarily disagree; it IS very different from the other books in this series save the setting and the characters. However, I can't say that the title of the book sort of hints to the fact that this is going to be a little more 'political' in its premise. "The Giving Quilt" and the description lends to the fact that the quilters will be donating quilts to Project Linus. Why does Project Linus give quilts to people? What type of subject matter will this book probably be delving into? Yes, I would say that the book WAS written from a slanted angle, but isn't that most fiction? I do think that the author was right on the mark with the world view on many of the issues discussed. I liked this book, although, as I said earlier, it is a different tone than previous books.

Giving Quilt

I really liked this story. The thought of going to a quilt retreat makes me envious that I have not gone to one yet during my quilting journey. 💘

The loving friendship that are formed

Love these books and looking forward to more. Thanks for theses books about quilts. Being a quilter myself
