Mary Mashuta and Roberta Horton
"Double Trouble"
Mary joins her sister Roberta Horton for this special lecture. They share a love of quiltmaking, fabric, and color. They also share common genes. Their shared visions are filtered through different minds and expressed by different hands. Hear how the sisters share a home (with two studios, of course) and manage to produce quilts that express their own perspective and talent.
