Others say...
"Disappointing" I have thouroughly enjoyed the previous books, but was extremely disappointed with this book. It is a rather short book anyway, and then the majority consisted of rehashed stories from other books. The impression I get is that the author had a deadline, and did not have enough new ideas (or time) to flesh out a new and interesting story. I would never have purchased this (particularly hardcover) if I had realized how little this had to offer. The only reason I give 2 stars instead of 1, is that I did read the book through - it wasn't bad enough to leave it unfinished. But I will certainly read reviews of her future novels before I consider buying another. If you have read her other books, you can safely skip this one, or at most check it out from the library.
"Historic facts" Jennifer's books continue to inspire both quilters and non-quilters. Her books are full of historic facts combined with quilts and their heritage.
"Book New Years Quilt " Another wonderful Elm Creek Quilters book by Jennifer C. Easy to read and like being welcomed home by old friends. Jennifer makes me want to rush out and start a new project to quilt with friends. Looking forward to the new book to be released soon. These are hard to get in Australia so it will be another trip back to Amazon when it is released...or maybe I should pre order? Recommend this author to anyone who loves quilting or who is looking for a present for a quilting friend.
"A disapointing rehash" I love this series of books, BUT more than 2/3 of this book is a rehash of previous books. Since I had already read (and paid for those) I feel I should only have had to pay for the NEW material. lol Skip this book and read the rest.
"Elm Creek Fan" AS always I enjoy the Elm Creek series. I thought that this book touched new modern day emotions with the characters involved. It was a fast read.

What our customer's say!
"Rehash", I have read several of the books in this series but I was disappointed in this one. It was just a rehash of events and emotions from the earlier ones. It contained many "flashbacks" of events from the previous books.
"Not the author's best work", Having read all of Jennifer Chiaverini's books in this series leading up to "New Year's Quilt," I found this book disappointing - not her best work. I nearly stopped reading 'New Year" because it just didn't hold my interest like the author's previous work. I won't give up on Chiaverini, however.
"The New Year's Quilt", I usualy enjoy reading The Elm Creek Quilts Series but I was terribly disappointed in this book. Having read most of the other books, I found that this book was really a rehashing of the books in the series I had already read. I know that on New Year's Day, people reflect on the past but this was overdone. There was little to move along the story. The New Year's Quilt (Elm Creek Quilts Series #11) Although the book was about Sylvia and Andrew and his family, I much more enjoy the books that focus around the quilt camp.
"Elm Creek Books are Fabulous!", What can I say..... Read these books, they are for anyone and everyone who loves a great series! The book is great as a stand alone or if you want to start reading the series. Warning, once you do you will be HOOKED! I never thought I would like to read about families in the late 1800's but I love how the author writes, she keeps your attention throughout the book, it is hard to put down and if you do you will be wanting more! The series ranges from the 1800's to the present and is all about quilters and their lives, along the way you may learn a suggestion or two about quilting! It is GREAT!
"New Year's Quilt", In Sept of 2007 I discovered the "The Quilter's Apprentice" in a used book store and became quite enchanted with the series and had acquired all the books to date before I read last 4. As a recent retiree I took up the challenge of learning to quilt and found a beginning class and have finished my first quilt for a grand baby. Sometimes I even find myself trapped in the fantasy and wish I could attend a summer class at Elm Creek Manor. Having said all this makes "New Year's Quilt" (and "The Christmas Quilt" for that matter) all the more disappointing for its rehashing of story lines. When other authors use recurring characters from one book to another, they will often refer to something that happened in the past in a passing comment or paragraph, not chapters and chapters from previous books just give the reader one new tidbit of information. When the new information comes at the end of this story, it reads as a summary of ideas not yet fleshed out as if someone had run out of time. Unfortunately the format of these 2 holiday quilt books reminds me of the 15 min daytime soaps my college roommate was addicted to in 60's--7 to 10 minutes of yesterday's episode before the new stuff, then to be repeated again tomorrow. I don't watch much TV so I don't know how many series other than LOST employee this technique of rehashing the previous story lines. As a reader, this kind of format turns off your fans and robs your new ones of the flesh and bones of the new parts. I feel cheated especially since I bought the other books in the series as new books. I have "The Quilter's Homecoming" left to read and hope I won't be disappointed.

Read this reviews before You buy...
"The New Year's Quilt", Author writes a good easy story, but this book is mostly just a review of parts of her books in the Elm Creek Quilt series. Not much added, especially not much more about quilts and quilting. And to think--I could have been quilting instead of reading this one.
"Elm creek series", Another Elm Creek novel. Loved it as I have the others. Not to be missed.
"Disappointed", I eagerly have awaited each new book in this series and purchased them all. My first impression of this one was the size.....very small. And, I agree with some other reviewers, most of this book was rehashing of previous books! I really enjoy the series and would love to read more but would like to see them more like the first several, longer in length and more in depth without retelling the story over and over again. I don't think I will pre-order the next one without looking first. Not much for the money this last time! Very disappointing!
"Great reading for the new year!", A charming cover, a perfect size book, and a great read; who could ask for more? I was pleased to hear more of Sylvia's story, especially about her activities during her 50 year absence from Elm Creek. Hearing about the new year's traditions from other cultures was fascinating, and I had to laugh at Sylvia writing resolutions for everyone except herself. Once again Jennifer Chiaverini has inspired those who want to to get busy on the next quilting project to do so. Thanks, Jennifer!
"Disappointed", I was very disappointed in this book. There was a lot of repeat stories from other books. Not many new stories at all. I would not spend the money on this book.
