Her family was fortunate that Susana had this ability and talent. Bet she also made great clothing for her family. True pioneer spirit.

She had to have had amazing inner sense of color and pattern to enable her to create these fantastic quilts. Great talent!

What a great example of art for comfort's sake! And created in a cabin with no windows, artificial light, or electricity. Amazing!

Susana Hunter is an inspiration!
