Quilt Fest 2009

Here is just a sampling of the quilts from this year's show. We had a Baby Jane show as well. What stunning quilts!! The background is an OMG quilt (I didn't say "gosh") with over 5000 pieces! The quilt depicting President Obama is beyond description and taken from the cover of Time magazine. The applique quilt is a work of art. I'm so sorry I didn't get the names of the quilters/artists, so if you recognize one of them please let me know and I will update everything. There were close to 80 quilts and I'm sure the judges had a very dificult time choosing the winners!

Quilt Fest

It is now 30 days until our annual Quilt Fest begins! The class schedule arrived last week and all of my friends have gotten their first choice of classes. Me too! I've got classes with two of the National Teachers....Melody Crust and Paula Nadelstern! Four full days of learning, luncheon lectures, lots of vendors, and seeing lots of friends. Utah has a primary state guild with charterd guilds through out the state, plus some in southern Idaho, Nevada, and I think even Arizona. There are over 1000 members, but I don't know how many come to take classes. The luncheons are limited to about 300 - 325 and people are always looking for extra tickets. There is also a wonderful quilt show.

You can go to www.utahquiltguild.org to take a peek at the classes that are being offered if you are curious.
