Susan Tesch of White Rock received as a Christmas gift in 2011 a quilting kit from her mother and father-in-law. She said that although she did not know it at the time, this kit would set her off on a new artistic journey.
“When I unwrapped this gift, I thought, ‘Wow, what a beautiful and nice gift,’” Tesch said. “It was one of the best gifts I have ever received, but I had no idea what to do with it.”
