Garden of Quilts

 After our week at Zion Canyon, Trish and I headed back up to the Ashton Gardens (where the Timpanogos Storytelling Festival was held the week before) for the Garden of Quilts quilt festival.



All of the tents for srorytelling stayed up and were now filled with not just hundreds, but actually in the thousands of quilts!  In addition to the tented sites, there were quilts and quilts in rows and dozens all throughout the beautiful Ashton Gardens.  It was amazing to see.



We got to join Karen Ashton and the Thimblecreek Quilters for a lovely formal English tea at high noon on Friday. It was a civilized and lovely time!



But…the best thing of all about the Gardens of Quilts was that one of Trish’s quilts, a hexie she has worked on for five years, was selected to hang at the Festival.  It was like a lovely center piece in the tent where it was displayed!  We had a great time!
