I found this online ... Is this it Russell?
This four panel quilt is the centerpiece of the newly remodeled Eielson
Visitor Center in Denali National Park. The quilt was made by a local in
Kantishna and is entirely hand dyed. It depicts Denali through the
seasons--winter is on the left, which blends into spring, then into
summer, then fall, then blending back into winter on the right.

When WAML was held in Fairbanks/Denali a few
years ago, there was a beautiful quilt of Denali
at the Eielson Visitor Center. No idea who made it unfortunately.
