That one was quite devastating; it is hard to imagine a quilt surviving such a calamity.

Thank you for sharing. We did come across some well loved quilts when visiting the Colony House in Palmer Alaska - brought by homesteaders who settled in Palmer during the '30's by way of Roosevelts efforts to colonize the farming areas. Also saw a quilt at the Valdez museum that somehow survived the devastating 1964 earthquake. So many stories - so true!

Quilts and the stories they tell are inspiring is so many ways.

I have volunteered in many nursing homes over the years working with the elderly on quilt projects, but to date have never taught in a correctional institution. The nearest one to me is a little over an hour away, but this certainly makes me feel like it would be worth the trip. And the Denali quilt is amazing! I live in Maine which is a pretty big state and most of it is forest land, but Denali would take up one sixth of our entire state. Simply amazing!
