RAFA Trunk Show at Schweinfurth Art Gallery

Last Sunday I attended the RAFA (Rochester Area Fiber Artists) Trunk Show at the Schweinfurth Art Gallery in Auburn. The Art Quilts Art Quilt Show was on display in the main gallery. I was happy to see Genie Barnes wearing the Butterfly Jacket she started a few days ago at Marcia's Studio. Here she is chatting on the main gallery with Sally Dutko.

Upstairs at the Trunk Show Pat Pauly introduces the five presentors.

Nancy Hicks kicked off the program with the Face quilts she has made over the last few years.



The next speaker was Jeanne Simpson who described her foray into the quilt world.
