Hard to believe that we have to start thinking "Holiday Tree" during this wonderful Spring/Summer weather we have been enjoying!
But this is a great opportunity for all of our SAQACT members.
Best,

Since the NBMAA exhibit "Stitching in time - American quilts 1758 to 2014" will be held between October 2014 - January 2015, this is a wonderful opportunity and venue for your work to be seen by an appreciative audience.

*You may list your artwork as (NFS) OR you may set your own price for your piece. Please contact Anna Tufankjian tufankji@cox.net if you wish to vary the standard size or price.
