For the past several days, my friend Connie and her husband Charles, and I have been hanging and arranging quilts and other textiles at the Visitor's Center. Special thanks to Diana for shipping 9 quilts and 7 tea towels from Utah for the exhibit.
Gingerbread, and To Grandmother's House We Go. The red and white one, Winter Wonderland, was auctioned off to raise money for Primary Children's Hospital. It sold for close to $10,000--the one hanging in the exhibit is an exact replica:) Nice job, Diana!
Chocolate Bliss was made by Diana and it's a hoot! Connie made Winter Winds during Snowmageddon two years ago.
Love the applique on this one. All done in batiks, too:) The one on the right was made for a granddaughter when she was baptized. The quilter has three more granddaughter quilts displayed as well.
This stunner was completed a few days ago by Rachel, a young married girl in our ward who's husband came home with a stack of molas from his mission that she set to turquoise and black. Nice work for a first quilt, huh?
Professional quality. Absolutely amazing quilts!
In this quilt, entitled "Emma's Vigil at Cumorah", the details are exquisite!
Talent talent and more talent!
I love Diana's Nauvoo quilt. Great story behind it too:)
Celestial Windows is ALL HAND DONE! This masterpiece is truly a labor of love.
Sweetness:)
Just as we were getting ready to leave today after the last things were in place, a little old lady showed up and asked if we would like a woven piece for the display. We happened to have loom on exhibit and the piece fit perfectly:)
More Chocolate Bliss
Cute jar quilt. Scenes from Utah too.
Cathedral windows and my DC Temple quilt.
Kind of different--someone painted over a double wedding ring quilt.
Celtic Rings on top. Anonymous (aka Connie) made the small green one not intending it to be in the show. It was going to be a table topper center piece, but it was the right size and color and we needed to fill that space! I think it's awewome:)
Campbell Soup Kids. They get a lot of oohs and aahs.
Check out the sweet blessing gown on the left:)
If you want to see more, you need to come! The pictures don't do it justice.
The exhibit runs through April.

This is unreal! I wish I could be there to walk through and ooh and aah over everything. I love it all, and those campbell soup towels are too cute.

ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteShowing your blog to my quilting friends at guild next week. Just a couple of corrections. 9 quilts were sent, and the tea towels are mine, but it's ok to have Linda Gregory's name on them . . . she's my sis and I loves her. Thanks so much for the pics! You're such a terrific friend!!!!
