Atlanta Snow Day, 72 x 54 inch quilt by O.V. Brantley, 2014. For sale at ETSY.com/shop/ovbrantleyquilts

In Atlanta we don’t get snow often, but when we do, we treat it like a holiday. We close the schools. We stay home from work. The city shuts down and we play.

Since we always hope for a white Christmas, but seldom get it, the words “Merry Christmas” are quilted throughout the quilt.

This quilt is called Atlanta Snow Day.
