The New Year's Quilt by Jennifer Chiaverini (2007, Hardcover)

In Elm Creek, nothing is more important than family and friends. In this newest book in the series, Sylvia and Andrew are late in life newly weds. Sylvia is trying her best to build a bond with her daughter-in-law Amy, who believes that their Christmas marriage was a big mistake. Looking back on past festivities, Sylvia must convince Amy that family is a precious gift and should not be ignored. In order for her to communicate that message to Amy, Sylvia resumes a quilt that she had long abandoned and plans to present it as a gift to her new daughter-in-law. In the process of sewing the pieces, she is hit with a lifetime of memories.
A beautifully written book by Ms. Chiaverini! Very sweet and touching with the adage that no one is alone when they carry their love ones in their hearts.
