I
Can See Russia From My House
Carole Nicholas
I struggled for many weeks to find inspiration for my "Punch Line"
quilt.
Sometimes humor comes in likely places! On an episode of "Saturday
Night Live"
during the 2008 Presidential campaign, Tina Fey repeated a sentence
that will
live in infamy....."I can see Russia from my house." That was it!
Foreign
policy is that easy.
My quilt utilizes strip piecing, with an outline of the great state
of
Alaska. Looking through telescopes, we can see past Siberia to
Moscow, Red Square and the Kremlin. Yes, we can!
