Let me share a story. My friend, Amelia, decided to make a Chugach Pines quilt to commemorate a hiking trip she took in Alaska. She chose fabrics in shades of green, brown, and blue, reminiscent of the forest, the earth, and the sky. As she stitched each section, she recalled the breathtaking views and the sense of peace she felt in nature. The finished quilt became a cherished reminder of her adventure, a testament to her love of sewing and the great outdoors. ⛰️
