"Didn't like this one QUITE as much as some of the others. Maybe partly because, like Sylvia, I have very mixed emotions about the celebration of the Christmas holiday. I haven't resolved mine yet; she does. And it also reminds me that I planned to make a Christmas quilt one year, got all the fabric, had the pattern, etc., and like most everything else in my life, it never got down. Maybe someday..."
"This book is a memoir of one of the main characters of the Elm Creek Quilters, Silvia. I enjoyed learning about her past and at the same time get a better feel for a lot of different quilt blocks. The book cover has a ton of Christmas blocks in the inside if anyone is interested. I'm tempted to make a quilt with all of them."
"a little slower read, but still good. Memories from christmas' past are aroused as Sarah wants to decorate for christmas at Mrs. Compson's manor. Mrs. Compson has memories of the traditional christmas quilt that her aunt, mother and sister worked on but no one ever has finished. The christmas star tradition of hiding it and having the child who found it putting it on top of the tree, until one year no one admits to finding it. The tradition of the newly wedded going out to find the christmas tree and the time it takes them is a testiment as to their ability to work together and not just give into the others wants. The dealing of sorrow when the war takes loved ones. the tradition of the christmas strudel. sarah's difficulty with wanting to mend things with her mother over her mother's inability to accept Matt as her husband despite his chosen profession."
"The story has drawn me in enough that I wonder what will happen in future books....so I'm planning to work my way through the entire series. I'm surprised that I identify more with Sylvia than I would have expected. I'm enjoying the quilt lore and now look at different designs with a whole new appreciation."
