Open Sew Show and Tell

Show and Tell

Almost every Wednesday we get together to sew and talk.  Everyone brings their own projects and supplies.  We have everything thing from sewing quilts to the scrap booking.  Some like to embroidery while others knit and crochet.  All I can say is that we have a wonderful group of ladies.  
 Becky's Chicken quilt turned out fabulous.  She gathered all sorts of reds and blacks and yellows to make this.  It turned out well.  I think she took this class at the Cedar City Cedar Chest Retreat.







 This is Jan's quilt, broken dishes.  She took the class from Jenny Doan.  She finished the top already.


 This is LaVee's quilt.  I don't know what the name of it is.  She just got it finished.  It is beautiful.

Some more chickens.

 My sister, Suzanne came and stayed with me for a few days this week and this is what she put together for her newest granddaughter.  Someone she knows machine embroidered the center for her.  I was so glad she was here to meet the ladies in our group.

Springville Art Museum Quilt Exhibit 2013

I was going through some of my pictures and found these of the exhibit that was in the Springville Art Museum.  This is in Springville, Utah.  I don't remember who made the quilts but they are beautiful.  I think that these were during the Utah Valley Quilt Guild July Fair.  This is a fabulous museum with some beautiful art work.   I think they do a quilt show every year.  I have been unable to go this year though.


I love this quilt, it reminds me of the wonderful ladies that have influenced me so much.

 I always love the log cabin quilts.

 Now that is what I call using up your scraps.



 The fall colors of this quilt is so warm.  The vine is beautiful.

 This is close up of the first quilt.


 I think this was appliquéd.  It is so fun.  The blocks were fussy cut.


 Have you ever seen that paper that you scratch off the black crayon and it has the rainbow colors underneath.  That is exactly the look that this quilt has for me.  This is beautiful. 






 This is a Book Of Mormon Quilt.  It has blocks representing different parts of the Book of Mormon.  

 These little quilts are fun.  A couple of them look antique.










 Adam and Eve, I  am impressed.


 This is another log cabin quilt.  The variety is amazing.


 This was part of the merchants mall.  I have no idea who they belong to.  It was too long ago.





 This quilt is amazing.  I love whole cloth quilts.
