A Garden of Stitchwitchery

Quilt - Yellow Bellied Slider by Lucretia Pope
I stopped by the Cobblestone Quilters Guild show at Gaillard Auditorium this morning. I am forever amazed at the time and talent stitched into these quilts and this is the place for them to be appreciated. Dedicated quilt lovers were standing in line when I walked in and after they bought their tickets were offered a single glove in case they couldn't resist touching the masterpieces.
