Response to “Museum Needles Taxpayers”
This article was published Thursday November 15, 2012 in the Times Free Press of Chattanooga TN.

Jeanie gave me some of this years projects to quilt at the AQS Show in Lancaster. We had a while before the projects needed to be finished which gave us time to think through what these kaleidoscopes would become.
