A Quilt Fiction Christmas Story: 'Advent Wreath: Eula, 1908'
<p>Welcome to the 8th annual Friendship Album Christmas story, “Advent Wreath: Eula, 1908.” This year’s story is about Eula Baker, whose four-year marriage to Dan has been filled with happiness — but, so far, no children. A young sister-in-law constantly reminds Eula of her childless state, driving her to the edge of despair. But as Eula discovers, we learn a lot about ourselves when we have to wait for what we want — and we learn a lot about the people who love us best. </p><p>As she’s done almost every year, the incomparable Patty Dudek of <u><a href="https://www.elmstreetquilts.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Elm Street Quilts</a></u> has designed a block to commemorate our Christmas story. Scroll down to the bottom of the page for the pattern; you can also find a printable version on the Story Guild site. </p><p>Now, for some more wonderful news! The first five Friendship Album Christmas stories have been collected in one lovely ebook, A Friendship Album Christmas: Five Stories for the Season. Each and every paid member of the Story Guild will get a free copy! Head over to <u><a href="https://www.patreon.com/cw/quiltfiction/home" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">the Story Guild</a></u> to sign up today! </p><p>Quilt Fiction’s Story Guild is an audio archive of almost every quilting story and novel I’ve written, including two Friendship Album novels, two Friendship Album novellas (with a third to be posted in the new year), and three years worth of my serialized story, Diary of a Mad Quilter. I also publish new stories almost every week that are delivered straight into your inbox. </p><p><strong>Join to Get One Month Free! </strong><u><a href="https://www.patreon.com/quiltfiction/redeem/68366" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.patreon.com/quiltfiction/redeem/68366</a></u></p><p>I hope you’ll come take a look around—the first month of membership is absolutely free After that, you only pay $5 a month and can quit at any time, although I hope you’ll want to stay for your weekly dose of stories to stitch by, not to mention the free patterns, printables and a weekly Back Porch Diary, plus the Anne of Green Gables Block Party! </p><p>I hope you have a lovely and joyful holiday season.

Winter Stars | A Friendship Album Christmas Story (Florence 1916, 1931)
<p>Greetings from the shortest day of the year here in the northern hemisphere! If you’re like me, you’re less focused on the winter solstice and more on your long to-do list. The holidays came on fast this year!</p><p>I’m pleased to announce that this year’s Friendship Album Christmas story is now available via<a href="https://quiltfiction.com/content/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> the Quilt Fiction podcast</a>! This year’s story, “Winter Stars,” finds Florence Grangerfield working on a Christmas quilt for sister-in-law Emmeline. When an unexpected Christmas card arrives, she’s taken back to 1916, the year she was 10 and committed a crime she’s never forgiven herself for. </p><p>When you’re a child (as Florence is in 1916), it’s easy to envy a friend whose family seems so much happier than your own. “Winter Stars” is a story about discovering that other people’s lives are as layered as our own. It’s also a story about forgiveness — both being forgiven and forgiving yourself for past transgressions. This is a good time of year to lean into that. As I’m doing my Christmas baking this weekend, I’ll be watching “A Christmas Carol” (my favorite version stars George C. Scott as Scrooge). If Ebenezer Scrooge can be redeemed, maybe — just maybe — so can I.</p><p>I’m very pleased to report that my dear friend Patty Dudek of<a href="https://www.elmstreetquilts.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> Elm Street Quilts </a>has designed a beautiful “Winter Stars” block pattern for Quilt Fiction listeners. Just go to <a href="http://quiltfiction.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">quiltfiction.com</a> to claim your copy!</p><p>I hope you enjoy this year’s story. If you want more quilt fiction in your life, please explore the website. There’s lots of free content available, and if that’s not enough, you can always subscribe to the <a href="https://quiltfiction.com/memberships/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Quilt Fiction Story Guild</a> and get stories in your inbox nearly every week. </p><p>Thanks as always for listening! I’m wishing you the happiest of holiday seasons.</p><p>xoFrances</p>
