"When Elm Creek Quilts announces openings for two new teachers, quilters everywhere are vying to land the prestigious post. The impending departure of two founding members mean untold changes for the Elm Street Quilters. As they begin the interview process, a single question emerges: Who can possibly take the place of the beloved colleagues and friends?
'We must evaluate all of the applicants' qualities,' advises Master Quilter Sylvia Compson. 'Our choice will say as much about us as it says about who we decide to hire.' Who merits a place among the circle of quilters? Will it be Maggie, whose love of history shines through all her projects; Anna, whose food-themed quilts are wonderfully innovative; Russ, the male quilter with a completely original style; Karen, a novice teacher whose gifts for language compliment her deep understanding of the quilter's mission; or Gretchen, the soulful veteran whose craft is inspired by quilting tradition?"
