    Click to get to the Quilt of the Month - it's a wonderful Americana quilt by a woman named Paulette Peters - The Promise. She made it in 1986, inspired by Willia Cather's "Oh Pioneers."
    You can sign up to get an e-mail every month with that month's quilt. There is also an archive if you wish to see previous selections.

    I clicked for The Promise to be enlarged and am using for the moment as my computer wallpaper. I love looking at it.

    The Promise, 1986, Paulette Peters

    Who cares what it is called. It's astonishing. Like you, I could stare at it each time I log onto my computer.

    And that's a quilt!! Should be a wall hanging so everyone could see it who comes into your house.

    The perspective is marvelous..sure does look like you are looking into the future.
