If you have an opertunity run don't walk and see the lovely pieces of art.

Quilts ARE ART. Quilters ARE ARTISTS. They are begining to get the credit they deserve.

As in any art, there are beginners; there are people who are technically skilled; there are people who have "TALENT" and are
proving themselves to be among the GREAT MASTERS.

Diana,
Anyone can do anything one step at a time! Some have TALENT
