Tonight I attended a delightful presentation and trunk show in the small town where I live. Lynette Bingham and Sariah Mortensen, two owners of the new shop Main Street Quilt Cottage in Hurricane, Utah, were the featured speakers (Lynette is the daughter of Blanche Young, a renowned quilter in southern Utah who recently turned 90). The third owner of the shop, Wendy Lemmon, was unable to attend.
There were quilts of every style...some new and some older!
Of course, I loved both of these Christmas quilts.
And isn't this a great Halloween quilt?
Below are a couple of recent quilts.
These two were amazing...
Sariah loves tumbling blocks quilts...I believe the one on the right was actually queen-sized. The tumbling block pattern is one I haven't made yet, but Sariah said these were easy to do and were made without any "y" seams!
The Main Street Quilt Cottage ladies brought patterns, notions, fat-quarters and kits for sale; they also gave out a couple of fun door-prizes! It was wonderful to have some "quilt goodness" without having to travel! Thanks so much to Kathy for arranging everything...and to Lynette and Sariah for a wonderful evening! Driving home (only a mile!) I thought about how wonderful it is that we quilters can share our quilts and our stories, our ideas and our lives...I'm grateful to be a quilter!

What a way to spend the evening! Fantastic show and share. I'm with you on the holiday quilts and love that Halloween one!
Many years ago when I was a newer quilter Blanche Young taught a class at our guild. She's a great teacher and a lot of fun. Lovely show. Thanks for sharing.
Great show and tell, I loved seeing these. The basket quilt is really gorgeous, I love it so thank you for sharing.
Those are the best nights getting to see a trunk show of such wonderful quilts! I really like seeing different styles. Thanks for sharing.
OMG, what a beautiful collection of quilts! I too love the Halloween one, probably because I'd love to make one and that's what appealed to me.
Gosh there are some very talented ladies out there in Quiltland.
Thanks for sharing, Sherri.
Those are all amazing quilts. Thank you so much for sharing.
Wow, what a nice variety of quilts! I especially love those star blocks in the middle. So much movement in them. Thanks for sharing this with us. (the shops around here don't seem to do trunk shows like this!)
What a great trunk show. All the quilts are gorgeous...my mind is going crazy of all the nice ideas. Thank you so much for sharing with us!
Thanks for posting all the photos of the quilts that were shown. There are some really good quilts there. I have the pattern for the Halloween quilt. Does that count?
Thanks for the photos- I havn't heard of the new quilt shop, I'll have to check it out!!!
I really love the basket quilt:)
I love to see any type of trunk show. It's always so inspiring.
Did you check out the Fig Tree Quilts blog today? There is a pattern with Patisserie that has petals like dresden plate but it's a little different. I love it though!
Sherri,
You are a doll. It was so nice to visit with you last night. What a treasure you are. KJW
What a great show, Sherri! Thanks for taking us along! I've actually made that Halloween quilt - I donated it to our Children's Fund auction a while back!
Cheers!

What wonderful quilts. I love love love that basket quilt and the Christmas one. That is beautiful. I cant believe Blanch is going to be 90. I took a class from her probably 15 years ago.
How fun. LYnette is a darling. The shop is sweet and they do have lovely quilts. Good for you getting to go. There wasn't a quilt in your pics I didn't love.
