Sashiko Quilting & African American Quilts

I attended the Utah Quilt Fest in Provo, Utah this week.

I took 3 technique classes.

One of the classes was Sashiko Quilting.

Since I am at home sick with a cold,

I got my block finished.

The design is created by using a running stitch

in white thread on Indigo (blue) fabric.

I enjoyed the class and it was fun to learn,

tho I don't think this is a quilting technique

I will continue to use alot.

I also viewed a exhibit at the BYU

(Brigham Young University) Museum of Art

of African American Quilts made 1945-2005.

The main quilter, Yvonne Wells...

her quilts were absolutely amazing!

At one time she was making 20 quilt tops per week!

Her quilts are created with a religious theme.

The quilt exhibit is at the MOA thru mid November.

If you are in Provo...don't miss it!
