 Our presence at the River City Quilters' Guild Show, 

November 2013. 

Pictures appear in no particular order. I sincerely apologize for the poor quality of some of the images. I can only say I was so dazzled by our talented members and their quilts, I just lost my head.

She made it especially for a friend.

White Lines

A great challenge. Create a six-inch black square with only one white line, the line must start and end on an edge. We had great fun linking them up as a continuous line. 

These were displayed at the Sacramento Fine Arts Center Gallery as an interactive work. Viewers were encouraged to move the squares on the display board.
