Deseret Foundation Donation Quilt

Tooele County Quilt Guild participates in the Intermountain Research and Medical Foundation (formerly Deseret Foundation) bi-annual quilt show and auction.  The quilt show and auction has raised funds for medical research and specialized medical equipment since 1983.  The next quilt show will be in 2013, and we are planning and preparing for the event now!

We will be piecing and hand-quilting the Apple and Bee Orchard quilt, designed by Stephen Seifert and Liz Schwartz (published in The Foundation Piecer, "A Bountiful Harvest," pp. 18-19).  Instead of using a "feature print," we will be hand-embroidering Utah-themed blocks, such as a Sego Lily, a Golden Spike, The Arches, etc.  

Fabric Needed:

• 2 yards blue print
• 2/3 yard medium red
• 1/2 yard brown
• 2/3 yard light amber
• 2/3 yard dark amber
• 1/2 yard beige
• 1/4 yard each of the following colors:  black, burgandy, cream, moss green, forest green, midnight blue, navy blue, and light green.

Here's how you can help:

1. Donate fabric in the color scheme shown above AND Utah-themed embroidery patterns  (by JANUARY).
2. Help make block kits to be distributed to Tooele County Quilters (date TBD in JANUARY).
3. Paper piece or hand embroider blocks (from the distributed kits).
4. Help sew the quilt top together.
5. Help hand quilt and bind the quilt.
