Stop by the Manteca Quilters’ 33rd Annual Quilt & Cloth Doll Show and you could go home with a “Courtyard Garden.”That’s the name of the quilt that will be given away to the winning ticket in the opportunity drawing to be held on the final day of the weekend event set for Saturday and Sunday, March 3 and 4, at the MRPS Hall in downtown Manteca.The featured artist at this year’s show is Jan Ayers who quilted the “Courtyard Garden,” with the machine-quilting work on the piece done by Pegi Treat. Both are members of the Manteca Quilters Guild.Ayers said her quilt is from an original design by nationally known artist Mary Beth Hartnett. “I saw the picture in a magazine and I just really, really liked it,” said Ayers of the design that she picked for her project.The publication she referred to was the American Patchwork & Quilt Magazine’s February 2010 issue.Ayers has only been a member of the Manteca Quilters for 11 years but, she said, “I’ve sewn all my life.”
