    Sedona Public LibrarySedona AZ (February 14, 2020) – Just as quilts are pieced together from a diverse collection of fabrics, so is a community pieced together from a diverse group of people.  This month Sedona Public Library invites you to join us for the colorful annual quilt show and take part in a new community conversation series.

    Visit the Library to see the 2020 Quilt Show, presented by Red Rock Quilters and Sedona Public Library, through February 20.  For the first time in the show’s 25-year history, viewers were given the chance to choose their favorite quilt.

    After a Winter Storm by Patsy Kittredge
    After a Winter Storm by Patsy Kittredge

    The first-place Viewers’ Choice winner is “After a Winter Storm,” by Sedona’s own Patsy Kittredge. Patsy’s machine-quilted, fused, and appliquéd gem is based on a winter photograph. After a big snowfall, Patsy waded to the middle of Oak Creek to photograph this peaceful canyon scene. This quilt is truly stunning—it’s hard to believe that you aren’t looking at the original photograph. It’s no wonder it won first prize, with an astounding 48% of the votes. Congratulations Patsy!

    Ruth Felton won second place for her quilt “Inner Light.” Working with over 25 different fabrics, Ruth machine-pieced and Debbie Stanton machine-quilted this work that seems to glow from a light within.

    Third-place winner Sharon Angelo demonstrated her love of hand appliqué in her quilt called “Flower Garden.” Colorful and intricate, Sharon’s quilt is modeled on a Kim McLean pattern, and it includes additional appliqué to create a truly amazing work of art. Debbie Stanton also machine-quilted this piece.

    This is a beautiful display of thousands of hours of work by our amazing local quilters.  Don’t miss your chance to see these 52 magnificent works of art!

    While at the Library, pick up a flyer that outlines our new discussion series, American Creed: Community Conversations. In this monthly series of fireside conversations facilitated by Paul Friedman, Ph.D., we will explore the common ground that unites Americans amidst the fissures that threaten our society.  These stimulating, theme-centered discussions regarding American values will be based on thought-provoking documentary film clips from PBS Learning Media’s American Creed Collection.

    Come join us in respectful, civil discussions centered on these questions: What does it mean to be an American? What is your American creed? How do we build bridges across differences? What is your family’s American story? and How do Americans from diverse backgrounds understand and shape the American creed?  In this time of division and disagreement, we’ll seek to find our common ground and celebrate our shared beliefs.

    Each session may be enjoyed by itself or you may wish to gain the depth of participating in the entire series.  Conversations begin February 18 at 6 p.m. by the fireplace in the Library. Continuing sessions happen the third Tuesday of every month, from May through June.

    Won’t you join us at the Library to celebrate our creative local quilters and meet your neighbors and make new friends through thoughtful, stimulating conversations? We hope to see you here!

    What Would I Change?
    By Amaya Gayle Gregory

    What would I change if I could? You and I both know I can’t, but it’s a fun exercise anyway. I would have been less of a know-it-all on my spiritual journey. It seems to be a side-effect of the path. Spiritual folks develop an all-knowing buffer to protect against their inevitable surrender to the unknown, but understanding that now didn’t make it gentler on me or those I loved, let alone those that I deemed not capable of getting it 😉 Yeah … I’d have dropped the spiritual snob act. I’d have recognized that spiritual radicals are only different on the outside from radical right Christians, and that the surface doesn’t really matter as much as I thought. We are all doing our couldn’t be otherwise things, playing our perfect roles. I’d have learned to bow down humbly before my fellow man, regardless of whether I agreed with him or not. We’re all in this together and not one of us will get out alive. Read more→
