Tiffany Hayes – "Quilts of Many Colors"
Journey with me as I share my quilts and my stories through a Trunk Show. So many quilts to share and so many quilts to make. The quilts I have to share are representative of my journey. Some quilts have been in magazines and/or catalogs. I will even bring my Lion King Challenge Quilt (it was in the book).
A variety of quilts will be shared and the hope is for each quilt-er to get inspired to get to the sewing needle (either by machine or by hand ) and get the creative juices flowing. Please enjoy the presenta-tion of quilts, stories and hopefully a few laughs.
