The Baranof Museum, in Kodiak, AK, has received a grant from the Rasmusson Foundation to purchase four of my quilts. They decided to go with a salmon theme and purchased the four following quilts. There will be a show in conjunction with the Kodiak Art Council's annual Art Walk, on August 31st, from 4-7pm at the museum.
