Look what I purchased at the @atlantaquiltfestival. The vendors are the best part of opening day at the @atlantaquiltfestival. This very beautiful, sophisticated lady is by @toniamitchellgallery. Another check off my bucket list. #africanamericandoll

Awesome time at the @atlantaquiltfestival Saturday. Carolyn White presented her lecture “From Best of Show at the Atlanta Quilt Festival to the High Museum”. An added bonus — we were surrounded by the banned book exhibit “Freedom to Read What I Want,” a thought provoking, beautiful exhibit.
