 Marie Shirley-Jones brought the SAQA (Studio Art Quilt Associates) Travelling Trunk Show.  It was fun to see the work of artists from MT and ID.  No theme, just the size requirement.  It was not juried so all were accepted.  

 Rene Robinson, from Plaza Diane in Powell, presented a very informative program on the appreciation of art. 

 Challenge for next meeting is to finish your Signs Challenge quilt.  Bring it for show and tell.

The SAQA Trunk Show!
