| Ramona–"I was the first president of the Anchorage Log Cabin Quilters when it organized under 501(c)(3) organization. I was the Alaska first runner up in the national contest in celebration of the Statue of Liberty. I have had my work published in numerous books and publications. I love color and the challenge of quilts with as many different fabrics as possible. All my quilts are appliquéd or pieced and quilted by hand." |
