Hi, Wanted to share that my little gourd necklace is on page 88,
of this beautiful book by Lark Publishing.

The Necklaces in this book are amazing, and I feel very fortunate that
"Heart and Hands" was included.
 See you all in Jan 2013.

Found this on the internet recently. The Fat Quarters made a quilt for Cuesta in 2003.
"Each woman, keeping in mind that Cuesta's favorite color was blue, provided her own fabric and design."

It's now in the Museum at Michigan State University

Update: Bettina remembers the occasion was Cuesta's 80th birthday.

Queen and Quilt

Art and Old Lace

Stevii sends a picture of a crazy quilt she made with a photoshopped picture of her as Queen.

Here she is at Spring Quilt Market where as Queen of the AIQA she took a lot of questions about important things like the air conditioning, the location of the restrooms, etc. When you are Queen you have to make sure your subjects are happy.
