For those of you who are from my generation, you may remember the Golden Eagle card. In the “old days”, you could get a year long pass for just $25 – which meant you could visit any part for a year for free!  Now that pass is available for $80 – still a bargain – and the 59 National Parks are the inspiration behind Donna Marcinkowski De Soto’s new book.

SF5119-8This hardcover coffee table book features 177 original art quilts inspired by scenes in our National parks.  Information about the parks is included as well as interviews with 64 park rangers and other personnel.
