Quilts in the Wind

This was an unexpected stop. Driving toward Rapid City, SD we saw all of these quilts hanging up on clothes lines on the side of a Christmas store called the Mistletoe Ranch. Pull over! Pull over! I said to Tommy. It’s not quite that easy to just pull over a 36 foot motor home towing Hooptie, but he did a fine job. We walked back up the hill to see these colorful quilts blowing in the wind. Well it was the prettiest sight.                           Although all of these quilts were beautiful, some were absolutely amazing. So many little pieces of material pieced together to create the designs. Then all of the quilting had to be done. A true labor of love. And speaking of love, over 200 other quilts were also made (not shown) and they are being sent to the relief effort for Haiti.
