GENERAL MEETING: "Stories in Stiches - The Journey Continues" with Sujata Shah (IN-PERSON)

Sujata Shah

Through 30 years of quilting, Sujata has realized that the art of stitching, the very thing she disliked growing up, has become her favorite way to write personal stories onto quilts.

In this presentation Sujata will share her latest quilts in a slide show and the stories behind each quilt.
