Publisher Description
The Elm Creek Quilters are as surprised as anyone when their beloved matriarch, Sylvia Bergstrom Compson, marries her sweetheart, Andrew, at a festive holiday gathering at her ancestral home on Christmas Eve. Eager to celebrate the union, her friends decide to create a beautiful wedding quilt to warm the newlyweds' home and hearts. A secret with such good intentions, they reason, couldn't possibly do anyone harm. But although the quilting retreat established at Elm Creek Manor is a place where quilters share their creativity, their challenges, and their dreams, somehow in their haste to find a way to honor the wisdom, skill, and devotion of their favorite master quilter, they forget that sometimes secrets drive friends apart instead of drawing them closer. As financial troubles, relationship struggles, and unexpected opportunities beyond Elm Creek Quilt Camp test the bonds of friendship, the quilters must find a way to stitch together more than Sylvia's Bridal Sampler to make a happy ending.

"This is really a 3 1/2 star book, just a fun, easy read (or listen to while you are playing taxi. There is a pretty nasty divorce in this book, which almost ruined the book for me, but all in all another fun Chiaverini book that blends quilts and reading--my faves!!"
— Kim (4 out of 5 stars)

The Master Quilter Listener Reviews

" Not my favorite of the series, but I still enjoyed it. However, I did enjoy the little bit of "mystery" thrown in. "
— Kristen, 2/19/2014 -
" A delightful read.. of course I heard this one on CD. I particularly like the woman who reads..she does a GREAT job with the different voices. Very entertaining. "
— Karen, 2/18/2014 -
" These are lovely books. Alight read but with an gripping storyline and full of wise advice. Not sure they would appeal to anyone who doesn't quilt, though. "
— Gill, 2/13/2014 -
" I'm really getting tired of Jennifer Chiaverini's weak women characters. Some of these characters just are doormats for their husbands. I like the Elm Creek Quilt novels that deal with the history of the manor and their ancestors much better. "
— Linda, 2/11/2014 -
" Honestly, I'm foggy on exactly which of the Quliters' books this is, but it's a cute series and I know I read it at some point. "
— Courtney, 1/28/2014 -
" For some reason I love this series. There's nothing earthshattering about them, I don't learn anything new or about myself, but I finish each book wanting to learn more about our handicraft heritage. I suppose that's the point, really. "
— Laura, 1/19/2014 -
" Not my favorite of her books, but still good. "
— Robin, 1/17/2014 -
" very entertaining, nice past time reading... i got engrossed with the story and could not stop until the end... "
— Vilma, 1/10/2014 -
" Another series of books that make you feel like coming home. To quilt no less! What could be better! "
— Jennifer, 12/25/2013 -
" i really didn't like the way this one was done. it seemed very redundant to go through each persons story, and boring. the story itself was good with some good twists and turns though. "
— Sharon, 12/22/2013 -
" ok not the best in the series "
— Sherene, 11/21/2013 -
" No not high fiction but heartwarming, and sometimes funny read. I like the character development and the warmth of these books! "
— Grumpy72, 11/15/2013 -
" not quite as engaging as the other ones have been... this time she covers the same time period over and over from the point of view of each of the different characters. Not a bad device, but each one is going through problems so it was a bit like watching a train wreck over and over. "
— Michele, 8/9/2013 -
" tolerable vacation reading...familiar characters from previous books. "
— Lila, 5/5/2013 -
" I continue to enjoy the Elm Creek Quilt books. In this book secrets are being keep. "
— Diane, 3/21/2013 -
" 6th in the Elm Creek Quilt series. In this book the quilting friends face life changing challenges. It was good, but not my favorite. "
— Dianne, 3/1/2013 -
" I like all of Jennifer Chiaverini's books - the characters are familiar and the stories and gentle and good reads. The quilting is just a part of it and though not a quilter, the quilting doesn't distract me from the story. Good book. "
— Chris, 2/7/2013 -
" I really enjoyed this story based on women who belong a quilting guild. The chapters are separated by character and it was interesting to see events unfold from different view points. The end of the book brings all of the stories together. "
— Jacquelyn, 1/30/2013 -
" Enjoyed the story but it felt a little like the movie Goundhogs Day because you kept reading about the same parts but from other character's perspectives. Each character told a little more. I found it a little frustrating. "
— Carissa, 1/29/2013 -
" Have read almost half of the Elm Creek Quilt Series! Love the books! "
— Karen, 1/9/2013 -
" Just finished listening to Jennifer Chiaverini's"The Master Quilter". Unlike too many other series, which tend to lose steam & interest as the books progress, this one seems to improve with each book. Four and a half stars. "
— Sari, 11/22/2012 -
" Another enjoyable story from Jennifer Chaiverini. "
— Julie, 11/20/2012 -
" I get why these are so popular. Simple. Happy feelings. Fluff, but soft and warm fluff. "
— Tamara, 11/16/2012 -
" This book was a little tedious-- it has about 8 characters that each tell their part of the story of the same three weeks of time. Not my favorite one of this series. "
— Terrah, 10/9/2012
