One of the President's Challenge Quilt, "Cry Me a River," by Diane Hartman, is on display during the Tucson Quilters Guild 37th annual Quilt Show, Quilt Fiesta at the Tucson Convention Center, 180 S Church Ave. The challenge was to create a small quilt, expressing it in such a way that the viewer would be able to understand the expression. The three-day event featured demonstrations, vendors, quilts on display and the 2015 raffle quilt. With paid admission door prizes were offered and all demonstrations and speakers were free. The photo was taken on Sunday, January 25, 2015, in Tucson, Ariz. Photo by A.E. Araiza/ Arizona Daily Star
Is quilting hip these days?
Maybe, maybe not.
