Quilt Festival is saddened to hear about the passing of quilter, teacher, and author Roberta Horton. Roberta was on the Festival faculty for many years, and the recipient of the 2000 Silver Star Award to commemorate her life's work and influence in quilting. Our sincere condolences to her friends, family, and sister Mary Mashuta (also a well-known quilter/teacher/author and faculty member). Did you ever take a class with Roberta or have a memory of her? Post it here!
