Books

The site of Jennifer Chiaverini's Elm Creek Quilts series. Here you can read the first chapter of her books.

How To Make An American Quilt - Whitney Otto. This book captures the rites of passage in women's lives. The art of quiltmaking becomes a metaphor for the realities of being a woman in America as the unforgettable stories of seven members of a contemporary California quilting group unfold. And as we come to understand the beauty and complexity of the quilting process — to see its evolution in our country's history — we come to know the history of these women as well.
