This is my sister Peg, holding one of the first quilts I made. The pattern is called "split rail" or "streak of lightning." I made this with scraps leftover from the rainbow quilt.
I presented this little lap quilt to a friend of
Peg's who lives near Washington, D.C. She had invited me to come to her
church to give a concert. It was a very special time for me, for it was
the first time I had been invited out of state to sing.
