In the spring of 2007 the historic town of Burlingame, KS. on the Santa Fe Trail, suffered a tragic fire that ended the existance of one of it's oldest structures. The fire was only a few doors down from one of my favorite quilt shops, but everything was successfully evacuated and the shop eventually was able to reopen.
This piece was inspired by a photograph taken by the fire department on that day and was used with permission of the photographer, Keri A. Welch.
