SPRINGVILLE ART MUSEUM QUILT SHOW

Here are just a few of the many quilts that are on special display at the Springville Art Museum.
 This has an African feel and look to it.


This is a modern "Grandmother's Flower Garden".



 A work of art.

 This has very interesting quilting lines.

 A "star" quilt. Important to get sharp points. The "flying geese" border is very labor intensive.

 Another applique quilt done in block formation.

I love this pictoral quilt. Very hard to achieve.

 Info about the above quilt. (BTW- each quilt has a short story/explanation about it. I only included a few).

A traditional Grandmother's Flower garden.

 This type of quilt is called a "Baltimore Album" quilt.

 A modern version of a traditional pattern.

Japanese family crests. 



  Beautiful applique and hand quilting on this one.



Under the sea!

BREAKFAST BY THE CREEK

Once a year the Hobble Creek 5th ward has "Breakfast by the Creek" for the ladies in our ward. Several houses in our ward back onto Hobble Creek and they seem to rotate the venue each year. It's a lovely setting and it was a delightful way to spend a Saturday morning.

 Not so much water this year, but enough to enjoy.

 A neighbor across the water has a lovely deck to sit and enjoy the creek.

 I was in charge of getting the OJ and milk.

 The menu consisted of 5 different kinds of muffins and different sweet rolls.

Also there was a yogurt treat with fresh berries and granola and a bowl of watermelon with strawberries and raspberries.

 The lady second from the left is Katie's mother-in-law.

Someone built a dam to make a "swimming hole".

 About 50 ladies attended.
