Once again this year, Mountain Art Quilters created a lovely display of art quilts at the local Pine Tree Quilt Show. In addition to our own display, members submitted a variety of quilts to the judged portion of the show and walked away with a number of ribbons. Congratulations to all our members who shared their work at the show and especially to those whose work was honored with a ribbon.
