The Colorado Capitol building is a
beautiful building located
in downtown Denver.
It is located exactly a mile above sea level.
The gold dome commemorates the Colorado Gold Rush, 1858.
It's a beautiful venue for having a quilt show.
Beginning June 6 and continuing until August 19,
the Colorado Quilt Council hosts a quilt show
that will feature 265 quilts.
It's a non-jury show so there is
a wide variety of quilts included.
It's put on every other year and
I think, I have had a quilt entered
during each show.
The quilts are hung from the balcony's and in the
rotunda and it's color and pattern everywhere.
This year I have entered
"Antique Sunflowers with a Twist."
It's adapted from a pattern from
Edyta Sitar.
I have always loved the sunflower pattern. This one
has a twist in the fact that the cream rays are three
dimensional folded fabric pieces.
The quilting was done by a fabulous local machine quilter, Karen A.
The feathers really do enhance the antique design.
When I get to Denver, I'll take plenty of pictures.
It's a fabulous show.
Follow the link to see what is at the show this year.
Until Next Time-Follow the link to see what is at the show this year.
I've never been to the capital or the show, I may need to make a trip!
