From near and far, quilters and aspiring quilters—a librarian, a teacher, a college student, and a quilt-shop clerk among them—gather for a special winter session of quilt camp, to make quilts for Project Linus. (In real life, Chiaverini has long been active in this charitable organization, dedicated to providing handmade quilts and blankets to children in need.) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach quilter, ever mindful that many of her neighbors, friends, and family members are struggling through difficult times, uses her creative gifts to alleviate their collective burden. As the week unfolds, the quilters respond to Sylvia’s provocative question in ways as varied as the life experiences that drew them to Elm Creek Manor. Love and comfort are sewn into the warm, bright, beautiful quilts they stitch, and their stories collectively consider the strength of human connection and its rich rewards. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFeaturing not only well-loved characters but also intriguing newcomers, \u003ci\u003eThe Giving Quilt \u003c\/i\u003ewill remind us all: Giving from the heart blesses the giver as much as the recipient, and while giving may not always be easy, it is always worthwhile.","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47134102585584,"sku":"9781101600344","price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781101600344_p0.jpg?v=1763758763","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781101600344","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
