Violets for Gretchen

Book(s): Circle of Quilters, More Elm Creek Quilts

When Gretchen Hartley arrives for her job interview at Elm Creek Quilt Camp in Circle of Quilters, she is astonished to discover a camper working on one of her own original designs, a Dogtooth Violet quilt identical to her own except for the fabric selections, Unraveling the mystery of how her quilt came to be duplicated forces Gretchen to face the unsettling possibility that her unscrupulous business partner has been deceiving her. The pattern for “Violets for Gretchen” appears in my third pattern book, More Elm Creek Quilts (C&T Publishing, 2008).
