We Love Art City Days -- Especially the Quilt Show!
Let the summer celebrations begin! Concerts in the park, carnivals downtown, contests, rodeos, consessions, parades and fireworks... Art City Days begins tomorrow! It's a week long community celebration where we Springvillians come together to make the most of our beautiful hometown. Did you know, Springville was recently voted as the "2023 Best City to Live In" in the state of Utah by Utah residents? Art City Days is a fantastic time to come see why! While you're here, be sure to grab a honey-buttered scone at the farmer's market, stroll through the Art Museum, take a swim at Bartholomew Park and, of couse, stop by and see us at the Corn Wagon. You'll be greeted by the Firecracker quilt made by Lynette Christensen using bright, modern solids and prints to create a zippy collection of firecrackers all alight. This kit is currently avalable for pre-order online and in-store! It includes the Firecracker pattern by Pen + Paper Patterns and yardage as shown in our display for piecing the 57" x 62" quilt top and binding for $99.99. Machine quilting by our own Ramona Sorensen.
PLEASE NOTE: Because we are located along the Art City Days Grand Parade route, we will not open shop until NOON next Saturday, June 10th. We will remain open until 5:00pm. This happens to fall on the second Saturday so if you're a member of our Saturday Sampler BOM, your kits will be ready to begin pickup at noon that day. Traffic may be hectic with all of the events going on for the final day of Art City Days so we advise that you plan accordingly. As usual, we will allow a one-week window for you to bring in last month's finished assignment and receive this month's kit free of charge.
Of all the festivities that celebrate our community, you know our favorite is the Quilt Show. Springville quilters take note! Submissions are now being accepted by our friends, Heidi Udall and Cathie Erickson. This showcase accepts quilts of all sizes and styles, from quilters of all ages and skill levels for display. We want to see YOUR quilt at the show. To learn more about dropping of your quilts, click here. The Art City Days Quilt Show will be on display Friday, June 9, 10am - 6pm and Saturday, June 10, 12pm - 4pm at the Cherry Creek North Gym (485 S. 200 E. Springville). Admission is free so bring the family and support your local quilters!
