    It reminds me of when we lived in Alaska!

    Beautiful quilt and cat. I would rather have my quilts end up in a resale shop than in the trash. That way someone that wants them can buy them.

    It's a lovely little quilt, how sad for the person who made it. But Gizmo really appreciates it!

    I would certainly look for it. My neighbor taught her niece to quilt when her eyes were better. Now the niece uses French Knots for Braille. But all of their quilts have labels on the front worked along side the binding and throughout the quilt. She has labeled inside a Dresden blade and GFG quilts and even a scrappy on diagonal. She has labeled on paths and flower stems. It's fun just to look for the labels.
