Show Now and Old Art Forms In Quilting Lakeside Review North, Wednesday, July 13, 1983 Quilting has flourished in Utah because it is a craft that means many things to many people. Quilts are a combination of the practical and aesthetic, tradition and modern art. Historically, quilts were made of scrap materials and flour sacks saved over a long period of time and then sewn into a much needed bed cover for the cold frontier winter ' nights. There are still practical uses for quilts, but for the most part they take on a different meaning. Quilts have become a canvas or mosaic art medium,. says Linda Tipton, Utah State University Extension clothing specialist. Quilting is also part of the Utah heritage of early settlers from the Eastern U.S. and foreign countries. Part of the preservation of this handicraft goes at the Festival of the American West Quilt Contest which features some of the best quilts in the state. Tipton, quilt contest coordinator, says the contest has been one of the big successes at the Festival of the American West. Each year the contest has grown in contestants and tators.

Tipton says the festival quilt show draws all sorts of quilters first timers and old hands. She says the quilting story of Margaret Webster of Cedar City explains quilting best. When I was a young mother making quilts it was a necessity, but it soon became a fascinating hobby. Over the years my love for quilting has been a means of making wonderful friends who shared my interest. I found that when I was sad or worried it helped to bring out the bright pieces of cloth and lose myself in planning another pretty quilt. Now at 71 years old, though-mfingers are stiffer, and my eyesight not as good, I am still getting a great deal of pleasure out of the quilts I make for babies and my grandchildrens weddings. v LINSEED OIL Lets the natural grain show, but protects against rot, mildew, and harmful sun rays, while my leg was in a cast?
