Ann Fox, from Brandon, presented a program entitled Coloring Our Quilts to Pine Belt Quilters in Hattiesburg at the March guild meeting. Ann taught x-ray technology at University Medical Center for 37 years. After retiring she visited a quilt guild and became intrigued with all aspects of color. She contrasted her years of studying shades of black, white, and gray to the spectrum of color we see in everyday life all about us. She set about to learn all she could from the color wheel and books and classes.
