Vienna President's Quilt

Member: Lesly-Claire Greenberg

Zoo Friends

Member: Jacqueline Lehman

Yellow Farm House, Red Barn


"Inspired by Judy Sisneros' '9-Patch Pizzazz', I found my focus fabric was too small in scale and I cut my strips too small, using a new ruler for the first time. Instead of a 'fast and easy' quilt, I used the 'slow and hard' approach. But I managed to finish it."
