Dear Editors, About four years ago, I became acquainted with Yvonne Hamilton of Renton, Washington, through your Quilter's Exchange column. With her help, I was able to return a Native American artifact to Alaska. Also through the column, I began writing to another quilt pen pal, Martha Wells. We've exchanged letters for about a year. My quilting group reads your magazine from cover to cover.
Nothing is wasted.
We have made projects from QNM, one of which was auctioned as a fund raiser for the Red Cross. After completing that piece, I set out to discover what other expressions I might find through quilts. The penguin image is made of velvet and fleece, with some orange fabric paint details. The back art is a message from my son Matt, an engineer working in Antarctica for a research team. The quilt was displayed hanging on a line between two trees and was a popular feature at the show.
