Master Quilter
Sylvia
Bergstrom
Compson
treasures an
antique quilt
called by three
names -- Birds
in the Air,
after its
pattern; the
Runaway Quilt,
after the woman
who sewed it;
and the Elm
Creek Quilt,
after the place
to which its
maker longed to
return. That
quilter was
Joanna, a
fugitive slave
who traveled by
the Underground
Railroad to
reach safe
haven in 1859
at Elm Creek
Farm.
