This is the twelfth book in a series of books called "Elm Creek Novels". If you enjoy quilting or appreciate quilting as an art form, you will love these books. The character development over the series is amazing as well. You will quickly find yourself thinking of Sarah and Sylvia as your own friends. Sylvia is a Master Quilter who returns, after many years, to her family's estate in rural Pennsylvania. There she befriends a young woman named Sarah and together they turn the estate into a quilt camp. This book chronicles the lives of all of the founding members of the Elm Creek Camp. True to the title, Sylvia is working on a winding ways quilt pattern and the stories are about the different paths the lives of the eight founders have taken. One of my favorite quotes from this book is "..the bonds that unite us are so much stronger than the dozens of petty differences that divide us." Before you leave this book, you will also be thinking of Sylvia, Sarah, Judy, Gwen, Summer, Diane, Bonnie, and Agnes as your friends. If you live in Holland, you will also want to visit the Tulip Time Quilt Show in May. The beauty will inspire you whether you quilt or not!
