Koi Polloi, copyright 2006 Betsy True. All rights reserved. I recently gave a talk at the Quilters Unlimited Mount Vernon group on Ruth McDowell and my experience taking a class from her. I showed off my Koi quilt that I began in that class in 2002 and only recently finished. I had a great time at the meeting and saw a bunch of old friends. Hopefully they enjoyed it as well--it seemed as if they did.
