I had the great pleasure of meeting Donald Locke and his wife at a quilt show in Owen Wisconsin. It was an amazing piece of art. Has anyone else seen it? Here are a few photo's from the show.

This is only Dr.Locke's 2nd quilt. He is from Texas and a retired dentist. This quilt was pieced on a feather weight.His first quilt is a picture of him and his wife. They travel all over the world with this quilt. Isn't it amazing?
