I got to know Sandy when we were members of Evergreen Quilters. She always had a smile on her face and a friendly way about her. She was a friend to all she met. We went to many quilt retreats and I was always inspired by her talents and she was always willing to teach others. I saw her at a quilt show less than a year ago and she was her usual bubbly self. She will be missed by the quilting community.
