Vacation Recap 2--Quilt Show

So, I decided to enter my watercolor quilt in the Annual Quilt Show at the Springville Museum of Art, since we were planning to be in Utah when the show started this year. I've had a couple other quilts in this show in the past, and I was happy to find out that my quilt was accepted into this year's show. I went and looked at the quilts in the show on one of the last busy days before we came home. I took photos of a few quilts that I really liked. I wish I could have been able to get each quilter's name written down but it just wasn't possible--I was wrangling kids and trying to get as good a look at the quilts as I could in the limited time frame I had with kids and behavior.

If you are or will be in the area, this quilt show goes until September 1 and is wonderful. There are lots of quilts (maybe around 80?) and there is a good mix of traditional and more modern/contemporary quilts.

Here's my quilt, up on the wall. I was amazed at how... small it looked in a room full of bigger quilts.

But I was happy to see it there and think it looked good!

Some other quilts from the show:
This one won an award for machine quilting:

I liked the scrappy look of this one (I put it in the box as my favorite)

Beautiful Cathedral Window quilt. I want to make a small one of these some day.

Detail shot:

This was just amazing.

Really cool t-shirt quilt.

I had to take a picture of this quilt because it's made using the same pattern book I used for my niece's Noah's Ark quilt.

I liked the black and white with the colors in this one.

Best in Show.

Signature wedding quilt. Pretty colors!

This was a fun one.

30's double wedding ring quilt.

Another award winner. The kids and nine-patches look like the ones from the book Quilts! Quilts!! Quilts!!! : The Complete Guide to Quiltmaking. The quilting on this was so beautiful, and the kids are all embellished with trims and shiny things. And there are sparkles all over the quilt. I really like the rainbow-y stars in the corners, too.

I have one more quilting-related vacation post to share and then will get back to posting about my current projects and stuff. I am having a bit of a revelation this week, and it's about focus. More on that later!
