Cross-Country Quilters, a group of far-flung friends who pledge to complete a "challenge quilt" -- symbolic of each woman's personal goals -- in one year's time. These five women arrive at Elm Creek Manor hoping to find in their quilt lessons an escape from the problems they left at home.
Although the Cross-Country Quilters share a common creative goal, as the year goes by their bonds are tested by the demands of daily life. But despite differences in age, race, and background, the friends' love for quilting and affection for one another unite them in a patchwork of caring and acceptance. The quilt they make reminds them of an everlasting truth -- friends may be separated by great distance, yet the strength of their bond can transcend any obstacle.
The 3rd in it's series, when I picked up the book, I found myself pretty disappointed that the characters from the first two books were no longer the main characters. I felt sad because I had grown to love them as a reader. But like life, things change and so do relationships. I've found as the book went on and I accepted the new characters, that the book became another lovely glimpse into the intimacy of friendship between women. Definately another good read once you get over the shock!
