Quilt Show Part 2

I knew I’d have too many quilt pictures to share in one post, so this is the second (and final) installment of the 2019 UQSM (Utah Quilt and Sewing Marketplace) quilt pictures. It was hard to narrow down which ones to share, but I’ve tried to include a variety. One category that I did not photograph were the traditional quilts done with Civil War report fabrics. They just don’t speak to me, although I do appreciate the workmanship that goes into them. I photographed but am not sharing some of the Special Exhibit quilts. Just so much - all lovely in their own right.

So let’s get to the business at hand. 

Another Youth (age 18 and under) quilt winner, although you can see I cut off the credits.

A couple modern quilts I liked:

A great improv quilt using solids.

The detail on this one was exquisite. 

There was an exhibit of Hot and Cold quilts. These were my favorites:

For this next quilt series, I am putting the credits first so you can read about (or not) how this series of quilts came about through the Social Justice Sewing Academy. There was so many wall quilts, but this stood out to me.

And last but not least, this Bride’s Bouquet quilt. This is a bucket list quilt of mine. I want to use a Tamara Kate floral for the alternating blocks and one of her geometrics for the bouquet bases. I have to find just the right ones, though. Her new line, ABLOOM, is beautiful and is due out in stores in the USA in June. That may be the one!

I hope you enjoyed the quilt show!

Tomorrow I’ll have some pictures of my meeting today with Emily Bailey of Aunt Em’s Scrapbag blog. She coordinates Quilty Hugs for Happy Chemo, one of the Hands2Help charities. She’s an amazing woman with super talent and a generous heart.
