I thought I’d share some of the other quilts from the Deseret Foundation’s Quilt Show where my mom’s group donated their ABC quilt.This retro apron applique quilt is a pattern by Lori Holt.
If you haven’t seen Lori’s patterns, they are incredible.
And this one is my favorite. The quilt was darling too.
This quilt also comes from local designers Leslie Isom and Norma Whaley. Leslie and Norma are gems. When I first started taking quilting classes I took many from them. (Leslie’s daughter is Calli from Make It Do.) The quilt is a vintage reproduction pattern called “‘Til Butter Flies” and is made with Depression-era reproduction fabric.
Another 30’s reproduction quilt.
(Again, the pictures don’t do any of these quilts the justice they are due. Lighting = bad.)

This one was so wonderful – doesn’t look nearly as good in the picture.
This quilt was pieced in the 30’s as well and was quilted at a farm-community quilting bee.This antique quilt top was found at a second hand store an is probably from the early part of the 20th Century.
It was hand quilted and donated to the auction.

And there you go! Pretty quilts, none of which I am personally responsible for. But I hope you enjoy them nonetheless.
I hope Christmas preparations are coming along for everyone. Christmas has totally snuck-up on me this year. How on earth did it get to be December already? Usually I have some presents purchased – or at least some idea of what I want to get for presents, but this year I’ve been so pre-occupied with getting the house set-up, I’m realizing I need to get on the ball with Christmas prep pronto!

The quilts are so amazing!! <br /><br />Oh man, I'm not ready for Christmas at all. It's going to be a mad dash I'm sure… I'm horrible at gifts and can never figure out what to get people.

Oh! How we love to oogle the quilts, thanks for showing, they are all great. I'm always amazed at antique quilts and the workmanship…some difficult patterns and they didn't have all the fancy-shmancy tools, machines etc that we have available. And where did they find time to quilt? And how come they didn't go blind quilting by candle light or at least 'bad' house light? (I

Hi Amy, thanks for sharing all the lovely quilts… it was fun to see my Mom's pattern on you blog today. I love that quilt, which was inspired by her mother Maxine, who grew up during the 30's. What an amazing show.
