Two of our regional members (Julia Graber and Martha Ginn) had quilts in the Pine Belt Quilters 15th Biennial Fiber Art & Quilt Show last weekend (October 3-4-5, 2014) in Hattiesburg, MS. This is my local guild, and I was active in hosting the show. Julia Graber entered two pieces, both ribbon and special award winners.

I presented a lecture on "Creativity," asking Julia to show some of her work as well as give a plug for SAQA. Julia is a new co-rep for Mississippi.
