Congratuations Sandra to her FULL PAGE in QuiltingArts magazine~

So there I was buying my copy when the gal behind me in line was looking at her copy & she was reading the page with Sandra's work on it! So of course, what could I do? I put on my best conspiratorial grin and said

'I know her...she's in my art group!'. it was awesome.
