Take a peaceful stroll down
memory lane, cross the old covered bridge, smell the new mown hay, and check
the corn in the slatted crib. Nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains
will take you to a kinder, gentler time.

Camelia McNeil Elliott
takes her breath-taking quilts of country buildings, marries them with
photographs, and blesses them with chapters of written history about her
beloved
Blue Ridge Mountains and the people who
call it home. Anyone with an interest in history,
Virginia, the mountains,
or just home-spun stories should take a gander at this work. The experience
leaves you mentally wrapped up in one of Camelia’s homemade quilts in a warm
living room munching on a hoecake and sipping on cider.

Every summer, the author spent a month with her beloved grandparents in the
beautiful
Blue Ridge Mountains. While visiting Mabry
Mill’s rotating waterwheel, Elliott imagined Lizzie Mabry grinding white
corn for customers in 1908. Inspired, she wrote stories about
Appalachian mountaineers and her family, such as her great-great
grandmother’s incarceration in a corn crib by Civil War soldiers, her
grandparent’s 1917 elopement in a horse drawn carriage during a treacherous
mountain ice storm, and her father’s jail house shenanigans at the Floyd
County Courthouse. Nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains tells
captivating and intriguing stories of
Virginia history, culture,
traditions, and everyday living common to all mountain families.
