My mom and I decided to enter some quilts into the Springville Quilt Show that is held at the Springville Art Museum. All three of the quilts we entered made it into the show (we've since learned there's not many they turn away).
When I first told my sister Madi that the quilts were going to be in the show, she asked what we get for having them in it. I told her self-esteem and a pat on back. :) But I do have to say that I'm glad we entered them into the show. It's fun to see your work displayed, and there's no question that more entries the show gets, the better quality of work that will be able to be displayed.
Madi's wedding quilt which we named Ink'd Wedding Diamonds. My mom and I put this one together.
Madi checking out messages from the people who attended her wedding reception.
My cousin Linley's wedding quilt named Notarized With Love. My mom, Grandma Bowen, Aunt Andrea and myself worked on this one. It's become a Bowen family tradition to have a quilt signed at weddings rather than a guest book.
And finally, Abby's baby quilt.
The quilt show runs through July and August. If you're a quilter, you don't want to miss it. It's one of Utah's best quilt shows.
Meet Daniel and Brittany
The challenge that began with "Have a nice life, Daniel Burton" is progressing with favorable results. Surviving and thriving on lively discussions about books, Abby, or the post-grad school world, the Burtons show signs of excellent health and familial success.
Dan and Britt met on a hot July 4th in 2005. Shortly after inviting her to join him for a panoramic view of the Independence Day fireworks, and not long after her denial, Daniel and Britt agreed to break the ice over ice cream. They soon realized that they were both book geeks, decided a permanent union was worth evaluating, and were married just over a year later on another beautiful July day.
After graduating with a law degree from both he and Brittany's alma mater's rival, Daniel is corporate counsel at the Woodbury Corporation, a commercial real estate management and development company in Salt Lake City. Meanwhile, and far more interestingly, Brittany is raising a new generation of Burtons as full-time mother and family creative director. Abby is two and a half, and #2 is on the way, with arrival expected in late June of 2011. The Burtons look forward to many years of exploring canyons, creeks, and mountain tops, swapping novels, notes, and ideas, and enjoying great discussions about people, politics, and their family.
Daniel and Brittany are both graduates of the 2002 class of Brigham Young University. Abby is gunning to graduate from diapers, sooner than later.

All beautiful but I really like Madi's wedding quilt. Don't usually like orange but it somehow speaks to me.
Gorgeous! I saw the display last week. I wish I'd looked for your quilts. Congratulations.
