South Dakota, October 2003 - The Sioux Indians pitched their teepees on open prairies with the doorway always facing east and the mountains of the Black Hills behind in the west. There, they learned to quilt. The Indian Star Quilt became an honor-gift for those among them who taught, preached, shared and cared. The buffalo and the deer still roam the hills. The mighty eagle soars in the sky above, guiding and protecting.
