The Art Quilts Around the World theme for this month is "Structure". Last fall my daughter Andrea and I took a trip to Ohio to a Susan Shie workshop. After a terrific week there, we did some touristy stuff...Niagara Falls, Mackinac Island, and one of our closer to home spots was the Gateway Arch at St. Louis, Missouri. We rode the cable car to the top and peered out the little slits of windows! Fabulous trip!

Been there, done that, left the gateway arch feeling even more claustrophobic....so your arch is a beauty to behold. I can now enjoy the view of St. Louis through your art quilt.
