Quilt Walk Quilt Show

These are the quilts that were hung at the Quilt Walk Quilt Show.  There was no judging and only voted on peoples choice.  These are just for your pleasure to see and I don't have patterns.

I think this one is made by Jerilu.  It has been a while so I may be wrong.

That extra block coming out gives this one a new dimension.  

I sort of think these are Sandy's Quilts.  They are happy quilts.

Is the the cutes fox?  This is Jerilu's and it was made with that foundation piecing.

These two are Heather's.  She enjoys the modern look.

Dianne or Jerilu made this one.  Theirs look so similar to me.  Only they can tell them apart.

This last one is Sheree's quilt depicting the origional quilt walk when the settlers went to get help and supplies to save the Panguitch settlement.  They traveled over the mountains to Parawan sinking down in the snow.  When they knelt to pray they realized that they didn't sink while they were on quilts.  They made their way across the mountains one quilt at a time.

The Fun of Tasting

Let me introduce my friend, Cami.  We have so much fun together.  She loves to cook and is what I would call a foodie.  We like to critique food.  It may sound funny but we really enjoy this.  We have gone to the Diners, Drive-ins and Dives that are around to also try these foods.  We enjoy trying new restaurants.  Some we have loved and some not so much.  Cami is a great cook and baker.  This was our second bakery tasting.  Let me tell you this is very inexpensive entertainment, depending on the place you are buying your food.  All of this food was about $16.  It came from a pasteleria in Vegas.  

We purchased a good selection of items that appealed to us.  There was a lot more selection but these appealed to us.  The bakery has other items that looked great also.

So this is what we do.  We cut the item into several pieces.  We then taste it and discuss it.  This particular item I think was called a cinnamon elephant ear.  It was very good.

Any way we love this sort of thing.  Yes you are over loaded with sugar after a tasting like this but it is great fun.  After we have a taste of everything and discussed it the family is free to help them selves.  We at this time decide if we would ever return to this bakery.  My friend Cami says we are like Yelp.  We can give others recommendations.

I just want to let you know that I started school again and so my blog may not be as consistent as it has been in the past.  I hope you are all doing well.

August Guild Show and Tell

Our August meeting was not very full.  I think everyone had a lot going on.  We did have an enjoyable time though.  This first scrappy quilt is Crystal's.   It is so happy and bright.

This block is impressive.  These have been Crystal's also.

Crystal is really liking pineapples.  She put this together with her scraps.  She is now low on yellow scraps.  She said that she has been cutting all her scraps in to precut sizes and then just taking form those precuts to make some quilts.

Keela showed us her cute nine patch quilt.  I love the scallops.

This is a comfy baby quilt she made.

Keela, Gwen and Crystal made these little see through bags.  Keela said it took about an hour though the tutorial said about 30 min.  They are made using the clear plastic on the front and quilting your own backing.

Gwen finished another couple of  bench pillows.

Lillian finished her challenge block.

Now Marie has been going like gang busters on her stash busting quilts.  She must be in first place with all these tops she has been creating.

This is a stunning one that Marie has made.

This baby quilt is done with the fleece.  I am truly impressed with all she has gotten done.  All of these ladies amaze me.  They are fabulous and I am glad to know them.  This last one is a baby quilt Marie made also using her stash.

August Guild Lesson

Our August Guild lesson was on all the variations you can make with a nine patch.  Even though the nine patch is a simple pattern, with a few variations the cute block can look a lot more complicated.  Pat was wonderful to fill in  and demonstrate this for us.  She put together kits and then we could turn the parts to find different blocks.  It was like a fun puzzle.  Look at all the blocks we came up with.

These are simple variations on the nine patch.  This was a fun lesson that we could all participate in.  We hope to see more of you next time.

Amy's Ancestors

Amy Maxfield came and gave us a trunk show at the quilt walk.  She has been so great to show us all of her quilts.  She said she had ancestors that lived here in Panguitch.  

She was able to tour the house that belonged to her Grandmother, I think it was.  Any way Peggy owned the house that is now the Red Brick Inn.  There was a quilt that she thought was made by Amy's relatives and she gave it to her.  Amy was thrilled.  What a nice story, I wish I could remember the details of it all better to tell you.

I hope you get your gardening and flower arranging over to the fair this morning.  Tomorrow the fair opens so we can see all the fun entries.

Getting Ready for the Fair

We have been getting ready for the fair.  My girls were involved in a 4H T-Shirt quilt camp.  My girls love their quilts but may I just say that one of my girls does not like mom to tell her what she should do.  Oh was that rough.  We got them done though.  T-shirts still stretch even with the pellon on the back.

We were taking picture so we could remember the placement and I photo bombed the picture.

We have make central here at our house.  We had friends over and did our cake decorating.  The girls loved it.  I didn't use vanilla in the frosting just so it would be less appealing for my girls.  They have a corn allergy and the powdered sugar is full of corn starch.

They all had a great time.  Even their older brother, and sister in law got in on the action.

Our Garfield County Fair here in Utah is one of the best events of the year.  I love it.  They are having online registration so if you have not done it  here is the link https://garfieldcounty.fairentry.com/Fair/SignIn/1301

If you don't want to do it online you can register there and they will put it all in the computer for you. I hope to see all your wonderful handy crafts and see you there too.

Are You Ready For The Fair?

I hope you all aren't "chicken" to put your entries into the fair.  It is coming up next week and I hope we can have a great quilt display.  They are taking the entries on Wednesday.  My girls are in full "make" mode.  My house looks like it too.  This quilt is Dianne's, she was binding it at one of our sewing nights.  It is so fun.  I love it.

Kids Camp at the Quilt Walk

Kid's camp was a huge success.  THe kids had a load of fun.  They made bean bag chairs, a bag and a chap stick holder.  Their teacher is Ashley from the St. George Bernina Shop.  She was fabulous and I highly recommend her as a teacher.  Both my daughters loved the class.

These are all the kids at show and tell showing off their projects.  You have to register early to get into the kids camp classes so be watching for them.

Remember the Fair is next week.

Jerilu's Pumpkins

Jerilu's pumpkin quilt is so cute.  Look at the little tractors on the fabric.  I love the fabric and colors. It is darling.  Now she just needs to have the quilt quilted.
