SAGA Trunk Show
     As the Southeast district representative for SAGA, Julia introduced a truck show representing
     small art quilts from around the world.  Each of us took two quilts to study and then were asked to
     introduce the quilt to the guild and then speak about what we found interesting about the quilts.  It
     was enlightening to see what others saw in those small quilts!
