Finally got around to reading this one. My first time reading this author, I enjoyed the way she wove the story of current time with an ancestor's writings on her family history and what the Runaway Quilt means.

I will definately look for more books by this author.
This book is ready for a new home

In this installment, Sylvia researches her family's participation in aiding the Underground Railroad by using their quilts to signal slaves on the run. Sylvia discovers three quilts and a memoir written by her great grandfather's sister, Gerda, who details her family's life at Elm Creek Manor. This was a wonderful book and I can't wait for the next one.

I read a library copy in 2009, when I was reading the whole series in one swoop.

Notes from my copy:
continuing in the Elm Creek series. Sylvia meets a fellow quilter, who has a family heirloom that was called the "Elm Creek Quilt" and certainly seemed to depict the old homestead in stitches. Sylvia scours the attic and finds 3 quilts that don't match this heirloom quilt, but also finds Gerda's memoir. Turns out that Hans and Anneke, with Gerda, inadvertently, became a station on the underground railroad. When a slave that was raped by her master & gave birth at the Bergstrom's farm is recaptured, leaving her son behind, the son is raised as a "twin" to Anneke's son - and Gerda doesn't reveal which child was which - leaving Sylvia wondering if she was really a descendant of Hans and Anneke....or the slave, Joanna. And the "elm creek quilt" was likely made by Joanna.

This looks a little "girly" for me, but I'm swayed by the good reviews. Snapping it up out of this bookbox.
