Last week I attended the Riley Blake Designs Garden of Quilts in Salt Lake City – and let me tell you – it is an event I will never forget!
Riley Blake is celebrating their 10th anniversary and to do that they held an amazing quilt show and conference! It was three days of gorgeous quilts, classes, presentations, trunk shows and fun shopping!
It really was unlike any quilt show I’d ever been to! There were over 800 quilts hung and displayed throughout the Thanksgiving Point gardens. They were so beautiful hanging throughout the gardens.
If you’ve never been to Ashton Gardens at Thanksgiving Point, there are different themed gardens all over the place! One of my favorite spaces with this rose garden with the quilts hanging throughout the trellis’. And the roses were amazing!
Here are some of the amazing quilts around the gardens! I don’t know whose these are unfortunately – but they are gorgeous!
I was able to teach three classes throughout the event – all hand embroidery classes! It was so much fun – I had a blast with my students! There was also a Meet the Maker event the first evening where we were able to meet a ton of people!
I believe they are planning on having the event again next year! If you have the chance to go, I can’t recommend it enough!
Thanks so much for sharing. Your photos almost match your enthusiasm for your love of your craft. ;-) I am always amazed when I see your finished works of art!
How lovely! Thanks for sharing photos of the beautiful grounds and quilts!
Your photos are gorgeous – looks like my kind of heaven….. that Harry Potter quilt is amazing
Oh, how beautiful. What a fabulous time, quilts and flowers, what could be better? Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for the wonderful pictures. I was unable to attend and loved seeing the pictures. Planning on attending next year.
It was wonderful seeing you at the makers table. The event was totally spectacular. I registered too late to get into classes but volunteered as a host which was fun. I love your new line and the minders. I remember asking you about them but I guess I never noticed them at the vendor booths, but they were do crowded! Hope we see you again next year❣️
Hi Bev,
What an interesting concept to enhance the aesthetics of a garden. I particularly like the rose quilt. Thanks for sharing these pictures and ideas, a lovely read, thanks very much!
