The Pioneer Women's Club keeps traditions alive

By Adrienne Ball · Sunday, June 2,2002 10:28 p.m.

Quilting is an art form like no other. Hundreds of tiny pieces of fabric are "pieced" together to create images of pinwheels, birds, portraits of people, flowers, tea pots, kittens, rabbits, and a myriad of startling and colorful abstract designs. Once the pieces are sewn together, borders, batting and backing fabric are added and then the entire piece is quilted, sewn over with a design either by hand or by machine, to complete the laborious process.

'Afterdark' thought provoking and complex

By Christopher Lee · Sunday, May 12,2002 11:12 p.m.

It does successfully raise some important questions and offer flashes of occasional insight, but just how many questions and what they may be is not always clear. For every truth eloquently illuminated, there seems to be two other threads left untied.
