Fabric bearing images of the iconic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles gets cut into equal squares for a quilting project.

Elders gather as often as possible to work and their quilting projects and socialize.

Southern Ute elder Kathleen Hatch works meticulously on her quilting fabrics, bringing the colorful patterns to life, Tuesday, Feb. 14. She said she never made a quilt before now and welcomed the opportunity for the new experience - even bringing her materials home to work on the project between classes at the Southern Ute Multi-Purpose Facility.
