Love this series

A great story line. I love listening to all the generations of all the different families. Even though some have passed away, they were still very present in the story.

Elm Creek 25 Years Later

If you could sum up The Wedding Quilt in three words, what would they be?

Family, Quilters, Bonding

Who was your favorite character and why?

Sarah for her quiet strength. Her love for her family and friends.

Have you listened to any of Christina Moore???s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Only in the Elm Creek series. Christina Moore does an excellent job of bringing each character to life. I feel like I am listening to an old friend telling me a story.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

At the beginning, I was surprised and sad to have the book start out 25 years later as in 2028. Sarah and Matt???s twins are now grown. One is working at Elm Creek and the other one is getting married and going to medical school. Sarah has become a well-known author on the history of quilts and proprietress of Elm Creek.

Any additional comments?

I would recommend this book to all Elm Creek readers.
In Jennifer???s style of storytelling, she merges past and present. Throughout the book, Sarah reminisces about past events as she welcomes family and friends back to Elm Creek in preparation for the wedding. There???s more than one wedding being celebrated in this book.
I learned about Sylvia getting more information on her Cousin Elizabeth???s family, and what Bonnie decided to do after she came back from Hawaii. I caught up with Gwen and Summer along with Diane???s family. I heard more about the new members - Anne and Maggie. I even learned more about the Civil War quilters and their Union Hall. I would have liked to have heard more about Gretchen and her husband along with Andrew. They are mentioned, but not as much as the others.
Halfway through I began to wonder if this was the last of the Elm Creek series. It sort of felt like the end since a lot of unfinished stories were being given an ending, but Jennifer has confirmed there will be more Elm Creek books in the future.

Glad I took a chance!

I'm so glad I didn't listen to the nay sayers and went ahead and downloaded this book. What a perfect way to finish out this beloved series!!

Love the elm creek quilt books!

Was hesitant because this jumps so far from the last book in time, but she did such a great job filling in all the gaps!

Comfort Book

Since I'm reading all of the Elm Creek Books, it's like coming back to a familiar zone and meeting up with old friends. Even the switching back and forth in time is done in such a way that I know which time frame she's in. It's a good read - not really exciting, but still very good. The kind of book I need when I want to escape the stress of real life.
