40th Annual Springville Quilt Show

Jan and I went yesterday.  We try not to miss it and we also try to go more than once, not together but to share the beauty and creativity with others.

Visitors get to vote for a People's Choice award and it is very hard to narrow it down to one.  Of course you don't have to sign your name so we say that each time you visit you can vote again.  Also Jan's rule, which is an excellent one, is that if a quilt already has a ribbon then we shouldn't vote for it but let someone else get a prize.

I've Got the Blues, Jan's favorite

 This quilt is a log cabin pattern and the quilter's comment was that she when she was finished she really had very little blue left in her stash.

Blooming Birches, my favorite

This small quilt has small flowers made of felt appliqued on with embroidery.  To the side of this framed quilt is a copy of Robert Frost's poem Birches.

It's a wonderfully uplifting way to spend a couple of hours on a summer afternoon!
