HERITAGE FESTIVAL QUILT

This quilt was created in 2015, but the theme may be even more relevant today. In June I decided to send Byron Kim a note of "thanks" for his inspiration and just this week I was thrilled to see that he responded with this message!             





"Dear Amy,
Thank you so much for your interest in my work and for passing it on to your students. Isn't it crazy how much consequence the color of our skin creates? But most importantly thank you for being a teacher. It's paradoxically the most important job in our culture and one of the least appreciated. I hope you will stick with it. And I hope the semester has started well.
 Yours, Byron"
