Lighthouse Challenge Quilt-so proud for many reasons


















Here is my Point Pinos 1854-2011 Lighthouse Quilt
I love everything about it. The original digital design
is by Joy Smallman,DD. I used Jo Morton,Hurrah.
This is a fabric line designed as a patriotic re-
production line. I love it because it is reminiscent of the
civil war era colors. Point Pinos is such a wonderful place.
Initially when I visited for the first time, I was in rapture of
the shear beauty of the ocean views and the natural setting.
And then when I heard the stories of those that had lived
worked and loved the lighthouse, I felt compelled to tell
the stories. I became a volunteer. The stories and records
of those who kept the light are somewhat sparce in the telling.
Some records and writings were available but there is only
enough information that it sets a mind to wondering about
everything that has not been written. For me it was about
wondering and thinking about those keepers. There is nothing
like volunteering at the lighthouse
