Utah Quilt Fest 2012

The Utah Quilt Fest was held in St. George this year, and as usual, was a wonderful event.  I have taken pictures of some quilts in the quilt show and some quilts from 2 of the national teachers and a collection from a fabulous Utah quilter which I will post later.  For now, enjoy the fabulous quilts from the quilt show!

This is by Annie Unrein entitled "My Bed is Like a Little Boat".  It was made as a challenge quilt.  Look at the rules below.  I am so impressed with her creativity and interpretation!






A stunning variation of the New York Beauty by Kaye Evans.




Isn't this a fun quilt, with fantastic quilting by Lea Hardee.




"Bali Wedding Star" by Barbara Walsh.  Gorgeous!




"Autumn Birches" by Sue Gilgen.  Someday I'd like to learn how to do landscapes.  
Amazing work.




"Cinco de Mayo" by Lorna Toone.

A close up of the appliqué border and beautiful hand quilting.




"Primitive Sampler" by Karen Martindale, quilted by Carmen Geddes.




"Dandilions Yellow" by Kaye Evans, quilted by Sue McCarty.  A cute story was posted with this quilt.  It was inspired by her 2 young grandsons who picked bouquets for their mothers.  The oldest bearing flowers and the youngest bringing the stems.




"Halloween Baltimore" by Pat Peters.

Close up of the center block.

Love the bat border and the wonderful hand quilting.




Another quilt by Pat Peters called "Christmas Baltimore".

Closer look of one of the blocks.

Holly border and again, amazing hand quilting.




"Leap of Faith" by Judie Weiss

"Daisy" by Patti VanOordt and Cory Allender




"Aunt Millie's Garden" by Cathie Purdy

Love the quilting with the yellow thread.

Hope you enjoyed this look at the quit show.
