A-maize-ing Artists at the Merc! NEW Trunk shows feature local talet!
Springville, Utah is known as the Art City. It comes as no surprise to find we're surrounded by incredible local talent! Many of these artists enter the doors of our shop frequently and we decided it was high time to recognize their knack for creating heirloom art. Visit our Quilter's Mercantile for a NEW monthly trunk show featuring quilts made by friends of Corn Wagon Quilt Co. We're calling it our A-maize-ing Artist Trunk Show. You'll find these masterpieces hanging at the Merc and we will spotlight each maker right here in our newsletter each month! Next time you visit the quilt shop, we encourage you to take a moment and step next door for some inspiration and to get to know some of our very talented friends here in Utah County.
Our first A-maize-ing Artist is Nancy Olsen. Nancy was born in Utah but grew up in North Carolina where she wishes she still lived because it is closer to the beach. She graduated from BYU with degrees in Elementary and Special Education and worked for Alpine School District for forty years in the classroom, as an assistant principal, and in the district office. She began quilting about 15 years ago and now has a fabric stash that could sink the Titanic if the Titanic happened to run into it. One of Nancy’s favorite (and greatest) accomplishments was starting a quilting group in her neighborhood for women who didn’t know a half-square triangle from a hole in the wall, and who are now quilting up a beautiful storm themselves. Nancy loves to sew; she loves the feel of fabric and says the “sound of her machine calms her soul.”
While at the Merc... be sure to grab a sweet treat! To say we are delighted to offer baked goods from Ginger & Rye is an understatement! The best of the best in homemade goodness, Natalie Nielson works with her children to turn time-tested recipes for cookies and other confections into delicious morsels. Her beautiful beehive sugar cookies were what first caught our eye and won over our taste buds. I mean, look at that cute little slivered almond bumble bee! Oh, but then you bite into the most delicious farmhouse-style cookie with perfectly flavored butter creme frosting... golly, are these good! Fresh favorites are being delivered to the Merc on the regular such as Ginger Cookies (oh my gosh, these are something special) Cornflake Cookies (chocolate chip cookies with crisp cornflakes and gooey marshmallow) and Chocolate Mint Brownies (is your mouth watering yet?). Natalie will also shake things up weekly with seasonal selections and new recipes like this week's Compost Cookies (chocolate chips, pretzels and potato chips) and Cornflower Lime Sugar Cookies (WOW!) Swing by to try new flavors or send your husband next door for dessert while you're fabric shopping (wink, wink). Did you know we also have our own soda label? Corn Wagon Too bottled sodas come in classic flavors with a quilt block label. It's an easy way to grab a sip and a sweet while sewing at a retreat!
