Quilter Highlights

 Just wanted to highlight some amazing quilts by our talented friends.

Lil Anderson was at the Jen Kingwell class and it was so great to catch up with her.  Many of us remember Lil working on this Lucy Boston quilt a few years ago and she was able to finish it and submit it to the Springville Quilt Show three years ago.  Hand pieced and hand quilted and no wonder it won a ribbon.  It is fabulous!

Ann Bowen was also in the class and we had a great time stitching and chatting.  She and Brittany both submitted quilts to the Springville Quilt Show and what amazing quilters they are!  Ann made this beautiful basket quilt out of Liberty of London fabrics and won a ribbon of excellence for it.  She named it Baskets Full of Hope.  Her son Nate and his little girl Annabell are both dealing with cancer and this quilt was made with them in mind.

Ann's quilt, Escape, was made with fabrics from her stash of fabrics of Cotton and Steel, aka Ruby Star from Moda.  It is a lovely, graphic, scrappy quilt that is visually interesting.

We have had fun watching Brittany work on her bright, improv quilt and the little itty bitty pieces that she puts together is amazing.  She never wastes a bit of fabric.  This gal does color!  It is so wonderful!

Brittany's second quilt in the show was inspired by the leftovers from Norma's quilt, Yes, We Can America! and is a beautiful and so patriotic.  

AND, don't worry!  The Springville Quilt Show runs through September 23rd so you can still go see all of the quilts in person.  Hours are 10:00 to 4:00, 126 East 400 South, Springville.

One last thing, the Jen Kingwell class was delightful.  Jen is warm and engaging and so relaxed.  It was fun to learn from her and learn some new techniques.  It was a great few days.
