A fine article about the making of the Millennium 2000 Quilt, written by Canyon Quilter, Tina Rathbone, appeared in the San Diego Union-Tribune on August 29, 1999. The article is no longer available on line.

Sheryl King called the winning ticket holder on Tuesday,
the day after the drawing, at the November Guild Gala. Was she ever excited!
