Longtime Wheatland supporter Jo McLachlan submitted a tribute to Beth Ricker, who die on February 29, 2020. Jo wrote, “Beth was a very accomplished quilter, and during the early years of Wheatland Traditional Arts Weekend she attempted to teach many of us how to quilt. I would love to say that she was successful teaching us, but…I don’t think so! After her death, Beth’s sister returned the incomplete 25th year Wheatland quilt. We will have it finished and displayed for all to see. I remember Beth saying that she loved and believed in quilting, because it was cheaper than therapy!”
