In the latest installment of the Elm Creek Quilts series, newcomers to the quilting circle bring unexpected journeys. Quilters gather at Elm Creek Manor to learn from Master Quilter Sylvia Compson and her talented colleagues: Sarah, a former apprentice managing the business; Agnes, an appliqué expert; Gwen, known for her innovative art quilts; Diane, skilled in quick-piecing; and Bonnie, with her extensive knowledge of folk art patterns. As founding members Judy and Summer leave for new opportunities, the remaining teachers wonder if they can fill the gaps left by their expertise and friendship. Incoming teacher Gretchen reflects on the miraculous paths that led her to this supportive community. Sylvia contemplates a tribute to the partnership of the Elm Creek Quilters through a traditional quilt pattern, Winding Ways, symbolizing their intertwined journeys. This mosaic of overlapping circles represents the essence of their friendship during a time of transformation. The narrative explores the complexities of presence and absence, questioning how change affects those who have come to depend on one another. Will the founding members embrace their unique roles in this evolving tapestry, and will the newcomers find their place within it?
