"The First Fall"


Boy an I glad winter is coming to a close. Me and the oil man have been having a little too much conversation lately. Here ia a snowflake quilt I made in December that is on display at my home. I enjoyed working in the kaleidoscope technique and plan to use it again in a four seasons quilt. This one is approximately 70"x70".
