Quilters' Heaven: Starred Night
STARRED NIGHT is another beautiful, creative quilt by Betsy Wilcox
Here is another one of her incredible quilts: PSYCHEDELIC COLORBURST.
My sweetheart created this sunburst quilt of color for me last year. What if I had gotten this quilt from her back when I drove my Chevy van, "The Mystical Hippopotamus," across country in September 1967?:-)
At university, Long Beach State, I was a painting and drawing major for a couple of years--especially liked working in oil and acrylic, so am an avid follower of my wife's quilting heavenly pursuits.
Betsy is an amazing artist, good at math, structure, and has a degree in French and Linguistics from the University of California at Irvine.
In the Light of BEAUTY,

Read books:
"This pamphlet by Mary Holton Robare contains photographic and informational snapshots of quilts
that were displayed in a three-day exhibit of Quaker Quilts held at Abram's Delight Museum in Winchester, Virginia, in 2014.
The exhibit featured twenty-six quilts made between ca. 1840 and 2007."
Basking in Beauty with Betsy, my beautiful creative quilter:-)
