Farewell, Yvonne


Yvonne Porcella
May 12, 1936 - February 12, 2016


It is with sadness that I learned this morning of the death of Yvonne Porcella, a founding member of SAQA and the association's first President, on February 12.  She was a legend in the quilting arts community, a gifted creator of wearable and two-dimensional art -- all in glorious, joyful colours.  The SAQA community as a whole is planning a tribute; please stay tuned to the SAQA Yahoo Group for further information.  In addition, any wishes you wish to express to Yvonne's family may be done via the Yahoo Group.
