Utah Quilting and Sewing Marketplace





The entire  'Fly Me to the Moon' Quilt exhibit  was at the UQSM May 4-6th.   I was humbled to have my 2 quilts juried into this exhibit. This exhibit will travel to many countries,  I  was happy to have the opportunity to see it in Salt Lake City, Utah.  Not all quilts in this exhibit will go to all of the scheduled shows, so being able to see it so close and with all the quilts, was something I could not miss.  I was lucky to have 2 of my favorite friends join me in the experience.  I do  have to express how it gave me an overwhelming feeling of  honor to have given a part of history another look through my fiber eyes.

Fabric of Memory is on the move..


This quilt is one of two I donated to the Heart Mountain Foundation.  Total there are 22 quilts donated by 17 artist.  Our 1st stop is the Crazy Mountain Museum in Big Timber, Montana.  They hope to have it up and showing for the museums opening Memorial weekend.   Below is my 2nd quilt in this exhibit.   A window into  the Japanese Americans, interned, yet trying to make a hard situation have some "normal" life to it.

Junk Journal for John and Emily

 I had to wait on "show and tell" for this.  I made it for Emily and John as a wedding gift.  The pages are fun,  and I will add another photo of a page or 2 later,  I added pockets, some with fabric, vinyl, paper, and envelopes.  I also added some fun, and very funny journals, and letters, schoolwork that John did in grade and middle school.
