President Vivian H. called the meeting to order and introduced Nancy P. who introduced the speaker, Timna Tar whose topic for the evening was “Stitched Mosaic”.   Timna told how she came from a long line of quilters  but had no interest in quilting growing up.  After studying art history in college, she began to quilt. Her first quilt was made along with her husband who was a math teacher and thought it would be a good lesson for his geometry students.
