Star of Bethlehem Quilt

I drove back to Alaska, found a place to live, a job, and enrolled at University of Alaska Fairbanks to finish my degree.  When I wasn't at school or work, I spent my evenings at the Silver Spur drinking, dancing, and finishing my homework...After all, I was single again.

In 1996, I met a man that made me swoon.  Wasn't looking for it, didn't want it, but there it was...and as all things that are too good to be true, he was as well.  It took me too many years to figure it out and a lot of heartache in the end. But in the moment, it was fantastic.  The Star of Bethlehem quilt was meant to be a gift for him, but instead ended up as a dog blanket.  Chance used it until if fell apart.

 
Was it worth it....yes and no.... In the craziness of our relationship, I became pregnant (1998), and in the end he and I would not spend our lives together.  


In front of the quilt is my daughter Samantha. You may be wondering what is all over her face....Did you know that if you wet washable crayons with your tongue you will have a grease pencil and can draw all over your face?!?
